Ohio
Jobs
Well, before
discussing Ohio Jobs, let’s have a look on Ohio Jobs Outlook to 2010
from the Office of Research, Assessment and Accountability, Bureau
of Labor Market Information.
Ohio Economic
Trends:
- Ohio's population has been increasing for the
past decade and will continue to rise, but at a slower rate than
the U.S.
population.
- Ohio income
will continue to rise, but will decline as a share of national
income as population increases faster in other parts of the
country.
- The
Ohio economy was healthy during
most of the 1990s with an unemployment rate that was below the
national rate for the first eight years. In both 1999 and 2000,
Ohio’s unemployment rate was
slightly above the national rate. Between 1991 and 2000, the
number of unemployed Ohioans dropped from 350,000 to
237,000.
- Ohio ranks seventh in the country in gross
state product, the value of output produced by a state. Ohio
accounts for 3.7 percent of the U.S. Gross Domestic
Product.
- The future
supply of workers is projected to increase by almost 420 thousand
over the 2000-2010 periods, from 5.8 million to 6.2 million. This
represents an increase of 7.2 percent, up slightly from the 6.4
percent increase over the previous 10-year period. The growth rate
in Ohio's labor force will surpass
that of the working-age population as the baby-boom generation
(born 1946-64) continues to age in the prime working-age
categories.
- The
demographic composition of the labor force is expected to change
as Ohio's population ages and work
force participation continues to increase. Nearly two-thirds of
Ohio's labor force will be in
the 25-54 age groups by 2010. Three-fifths of the oldest baby
boomers in the 55-64 age groups are expected to still be working.
Most workers in the labor force in 2000, about four out of five,
will remain in Ohio's labor force in
2010.
- The labor
force 55 years of age and older will grow faster than the younger
labor force as the baby-boom generation continues to age. The
labor force 35-to-44 years of age is expected to decline by nearly
one hundred and ninety thousand, reflecting the decrease in births
in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Among the oldest age groups,
those 55 and over will increase by 316,000. About 700,000 older
Ohioans will be leaving the workforce while more than one million
young people will be entering the labor force for the first
time.
- Labor force
participation is expected to have a moderate rise from 67.1
percent of the working-age population in 2000 to 68.0 percent by
2010. This rise will be due to the continued increase in women's
participation as the men’s participation rate declines
somewhat.
- Women's share
of the Ohio labor force is projected to
increase from 47.6 percent to 49.0 percent over the 10-year
period. The Ohio labor force will become
more diverse as the share comprised of nonwhites rises from 12.4
to 13.4 percent and will in turn affect Ohio Jobs
market.
Ohio Industry Employment and Ohio Jobs:
- Over the
2000-2010 periods, the Ohio economy is projected to
create more than 660 thousand new Ohio Jobs. The number of Ohio
Jobs is anticipated to rise from 5.998 million in 2000 to 6.660
million by 2010.
- Service-producing industries will account
for virtually all of the Ohio Jobs growth. Only construction is
expected to add a significant number of Ohio Jobs in the
goods-producing sector.
- Manufacturing
in Ohio is projected to maintain
its share of total output, but increased productivity in this
sector will likely result in a slight decline in
employment.
- The services
sector itself, led by health and business services, will account
for over half of all Ohio Jobs growth. Large numbers of jobs are
also projected in retail trade, especially eating and drinking
places, and local government, primarily in
education.
There are many
good resources for Ohio Jobs. We are discussing few good ones here.
