  1. Ohio is not very business friendly and one of the top 10 states with the highest taxes.

  2. That is very true. No one can really try to blame Obama or Bush on this one. Ohio is very business unfriendly...remember those ads (maybe they're still running) encouraging business to come to Michigan?
    The powers in Columbus (not Washington DC) really need to figure this one out

  3. Ohio is the 12th highest state for unemployement. The top states for unemployment are MI, NV, RI, SC, CA while the states with the lowest are ND, NE, SD, IA, KS, OK, MT. Ohio ranks 7th in US population.

    I've looked at some different statistics including industry, population, and workplace unionization, but haven't seen clear cut connections. I curious to hear other opinions. What are 11 states doing worse than us, and what are 38 states doing better?
