According to the Sandusky Register Online, for the month of April, Ohio led the nation in creating new jobs. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 37,300 new jobs were created, the most out of all 50 states. Many of jobs created include seasonal industries, such as leisure and hospitality and construction. The manufacturing industry created more than 12,000 of these new jobs, which isn't considered to me a seasonal industry.
The state of Ohio has a bright outlook. If you're looking for a new home to move to, or relocating for better career choices, check out Ohio and what it has to offer.
