COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Manufacturing is the foundation of Ohio’s economy and the greatest contributor to the state’s GDP, to the tune of $133 billion, providing high-paying employment opportunities to nearly 700,000 Ohioans of all education levels.
These jobs pave the path to the middle class and lay the foundational building blocks for growing economic prosperity in communities throughout the state. Manufacturers understand that these strengths mean little, however, if they come at the expense of the
places we live.
Contrary to aging stereotypes of smokestacks and wasteful byproducts, manufacturing’s success today has not come at the expense of our state’s air, water, or soil. Rather, Ohio’s manufacturers are leading the charge in reducing air emissions, water discharge pollution, and pioneering recycling efforts – all while
providing economic benefits for their employees and surrounding communities.
