Ohio fourth in new jobs created
by G. Scott Thomas
Monday, August 22, 2011
Only six of the 50 states have suffered employment declines since July
2010, with the worst drops occurring in Indiana (down 28,300 jobs) and
Georgia (down 24,900).
Ohio ranks fourth in the country for the most jobs created in the past
12 months, according to a new report by On Numbers at Bizjournals.com.
Ohio created 74,100 jobs since July 2010, with a total of 5.1 million
jobs now.
It has been a shaky recovery, to be sure, yet all but six states have
added jobs during the past 12 months.
Texas, as usual, is No. 1 in the latest seasonally adjusted figures
from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Lone Star State picked up
269,500 jobs between July 2010 and the same month this year.
But Texas is not alone in registering a broad upswing. Two other states
posted six-figure gains: California (up 189,600 jobs in 12 months) and
New York (up 106,600). An additional 13 states added at least 25,000
jobs during the past year.
Only six of the 50 states have suffered employment declines since July
2010, with the worst drops occurring in Indiana (down 28,300 jobs) and
Georgia (down 24,900).
On Numbers also generated monthly breakdowns for the past year,
counting the number of monthly gains or losses for each state (as well
as the number of even, or unchanged, months).
Texas and North Dakota fared the best, registering 11 employment gains
in 12 months. Georgia and Indiana were the worst, with nine
month-to-month declines.
