[edit]Aerospace and defense
[edit]Dayton is designated as the state's aerospace hub due to its high concentration of aerospace and aviation technology. In 2009, Governor Ted Strickland designated Dayton as Ohio's aerospace innovation hub, the first such technology hub in the state.[43] Aircraft engine manufacturing accounts for nearly 75% of Ohio's aerospace and defense industry workforce.
The aerospace and defense industry employs 16,000 Ohioans.[47] Employment has been increasing after 2003, despite an overall decrease in employment since the industry's peak at 37,000 employees in 1990.[47] In 2005, Ohio ranked fifth among US states in the production of aerospace products and parts, and eighth in the number of aerospace industry workers.[47] Recently[when?] the states' employees have ranked No. 1 in value produced per worker.[48] Ohioan workers in the aerospace industry made an annual average salary of $75,765 in 2005, compared to $48,208 in for workers in the manufacturing sector generally.[47] Nearly 75% of the state's aerospace and defense employees work in the aircraft engine manufacturing sub-sector;[47] only Connecticut has larger aircraft engine workforce.[47]

Energy
[edit]The energy sector of Ohio is composed of thousands of companies and cities representing the oil, natural gas, coal, solar, wind energy, fuel cell, biofuel, geothermal, hydroelectric, and other related industries. Ohio is second nationally in solar energy industry manufacturing as Toledo is considered a national solar hub, nicknamed "Solar Valley." In 2021, First Solar announced its third Ohio facility, a new $680 million photovoltaic panel manufacturing plant in suburban Toledo that will bring its total production capacity in the state to nearly 6 gigawatts annually.[86]
Oil and natural gas accounts for $3.1 billion annually in sales while ethanol generates $750 million. The state is recognized internationally as the "Fuel Cell Corridor", and Hamilton is poised to become the biggest municipal provider of renewable energy in the Midwest, and one of the largest in the country, with over 70%. In 2008, the state led the country in alternative energy manufacturing according to Site Selection Magazine, while the natural gas industry has experienced growth due to the Great Shale Gas Rush.

Germany-based BMW operates a financial subsidiary in Dublin.
Automobile manufacturing
[edit]Ohio-native Charles Kettering invented the self-starter for the automobile, an advancement which contributed to the mainstreaming of the transport.
The current state of the motor vehicle industry in Ohio is mixed and dotted. In 2002, the Ohio motor vehicle industry produced about $16 billion of items.[97] This is about 14% of the automobile production of the United States, and Ohio outputs every state in production of motor vehicles except for Michigan.[97] These $16 billion account for approximately 4.1% of Ohio's gross state product; however, the motor vehicle industry only accounts for 1.1% of the United States' output.[97] In 2003, Ohio was able to produce about 1,885,000 motor vehicles, accounting for 15.6% of the United States' production, and, again, more than any state except for Michigan, in which 928,000 of these were automobiles.[97]
The Ohio Department of Development estimates that there are 555 motor vehicle production establishments in Ohio, and that by employing around 138,000 people, Ohio motor vehicle production employees account for 12.7% of the United States' motor vehicle production employees.[97] Despite sharp losses since 1999, the motor vehicle production industry was able to recover in 2001, producing a net gain of 148,000 vehicles.[97] General Motors produced the highest number of motor vehicles in Ohio, with 36.5% of the production of motor vehicles in Ohio, followed closely by Honda with 35.9%. Other major motor vehicle producers in Ohio include DaimlerChrysler (with 17.5% of production) and Ford (with 10.5% of production).[97] However, despite the growth listed above, employment statistics and outlooks are much more grim.
In 2004, the number of people employed in the motor vehicle assembly industry in Ohio was reported to be around 31,000, down from about 40,000 throughout the 1990s,[97] while in the motor vehicle parts production industry in Ohio, in December 1997, employment stood at approximately 122,000 employees;[97] however, that number dropped by about 26% to 90,000 employees by 2004.[97] Despite the growth facts above, the loss of employment is more likely to directly affect Ohio's economy. The Ohio Bureau of Labor Market Information estimates that there will be 3,300 less assembly employees and 2,400 less parts manufacturing employees in 2012 than 2002.[97] Major firms operating in the state include Ford, Honda, and General Motors. Some major motor vehicle assembly production plants in the state include the Toledo Complex, Marysville Auto Plant, East Liberty Auto Plant, Ohio Assembly, and Toledo North Assembly. France-based Faurecia Group operates a division in Toledo.[99]
In June 2010, auto parts manufacturer Sanoh America, located in Streetsboro, announced a $3.5 million, 35,000-square-foot (3,300 m2) expansion of their North American headquarters,[100] while Austria-based automotive part manufacturer Miba announced $30 million in new investments at production sites around the state.[101] In September of that year, the new 87,100-square-foot (8,090 m2) R&D facility of Amtex, Inc., a subsidiary of Japan-based Hayashi Telempu Co. based in Lebanon, became operational in Plymouth.[102]
Iron and steel
[edit]Ohio is considered the historical center of steel production in the U.S.[103] The state produces annually around 14.5 million tons, with a $7.2 billion state economic impact[104] The largest steel foundry in North America is located in Columbus, Columbus Castings.[105] It was formerly part of Buckeye Steel Castings, which traces its root back to the 19th century.
Ohio produces between 14% and 17% of the United States' raw steel.[106] The sector of objects made from purchased steel in Ohio ranks 2nd out of all 50 states,[106] and 3rd in the sector of iron, steel, and ferroalloys.[106]
Seventy percent of the United States' electrometallurgical ferroalloy manufacturing employees are located in Ohio.[106] The entire industry as a whole, although not as concentrated as the electrometallurgical ferroalloy manufacturing sector, employs 34,000 paid workers at 234 individual workplaces.[106] Ohio's 234 workplaces make up 9.5% of the United States industry's workplaces,[106] and the 34,000 paid workers make up 13.6% of the United States industry's workers.[106] Of these workers and workplaces, the sector of iron, steel, and ferroalloys make up the largest sector in Ohio's industry,[106] with 17,000 paid workers in 73 workplaces.[106]
However, despite Ohio's large presence in the iron and steel market, employment rates have declined in Ohio,[106] generally attributed to weakening national economy.[106] Between 1998 and 2005, the number of Ohio iron and steel industry workers decreased from 52,700 to 34,000.[106] The Ohio Department of Development predicts the decreases will continue in coming years.[106] The average annual salary for iron and steel industry workers in Ohio was $59,686, compared the national industry average of $53,352.[106]
There are three Fortune 1000 iron and steel manufacturers with world headquarters in Ohio:[106] AK Steel, located in Westchester, Timken Company, located in Canton, and Worthington Industries, located in Columbus.

Rubber and plastics
[edit]One of Ohio's historically strong industries is the rubber and plastics industry. Ohio ranks 1st of all 50 states in rubber and plastics production,[112] producing around $17.4 billion of rubber and plastics shipments annually.[112] Seven Fortune 1000 rubber and/or plastics corporations are located in Ohio:[113][112]
- Goodyear Tire & Rubber, Akron
- Parker Hannifin, Cleveland
- Owens-Illinois, Perrysburg, Ohio
- Owens Corning, Toledo
- Cooper Tire & Rubber, Findlay
- PolyOne, Avon Lake
- A. Schulman, Akron
Ohio ranks 1st in the gross state product of the rubber and plastics industry of any state.[112] For the 5-year period of 2000–2004, inflation-adjusted production increased around 10%.[112] In addition, in this period, the US rubber and plastics industry only grew 6%.[112]
Ohio exported around $1.3 billion worth of rubber and plastics shipments in 2006.[112] Rubber and plastics exports make up for 7.3% of total sales.[112] Canada is the largest importer of Ohio's $1.3 billion worth of exports, accounting for 46% of this amount.[112] The Census Bureau expects that an addition $1.1 billion worth of material is indirectly exported, through the means of other goods that are made from rubbers and plastics, including motor vehicles and machinery.[112]
However, despite increased production, employment has been decreasing in Ohio's rubber and plastic industry.[112] In 2000, Ohio employed around 92,000 rubber and plastics industry workers. By 2006, those rates have declined by about 26% to about 69,000 workers.[112] The Ohio Bureau of Labor Market Information predicts that, from 2004 to 2014, there will be 11,200 less workers in Ohio's industry.[112] They also predict that plastics employment in Ohio will decrease by 13.7%, and that rubber products employment will decrease by 20.7%.[112] The industry currently employs about 73,000 Ohio workers,[112] and employs about 12.3% of the United States' rubber employees, and 7.8% of the United States' plastics employees.[112]
In October 2010, Sweden-based Hexpol AB announced the acquisition of Solon-based Excel Polymers for $215 million.[114]

Ohio is home to four major oil refineries, with two located in Oregon and one each in Lima and Canton. These facilities represented nearly 600,000 barrels per day of refining capacity as of 2018[update].[213]
Personal income
[edit]Ohio had an estimated $575 billion in total personal income in 2018.[214] The mean household income for the top 5% in the state is $296,000.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics in 2018, the mean wage for Ohioans was $48,220. The highest paid professionals in the state were concentrated in the medical fields. Anesthesiologists, with average mean wage of $285,000, were the highest paid, followed by surgeons at $267,680, obstetricians and gynecologists at $255,560, orthodontists at $228,420, general internists at $219,910, and all other physicians at $212,160. Average mean wage for other selected professionals include chief executive officers at $201,100, computer and information research scientists at $135,510, financial managers at $135,610, postsecondary health specialty teachers at $130,280, human resource managers at $123,680, industrial production managers at $109,190, nurse practitioners at $101,970, and police officers at $61,040.[215]
The state of Ohio's residents in 2017 had an overall $45,615 per capita personal income, up from $36,360 in 2010. Ohio's per capita income is 29th in the US and is 91% of the national average.[216]
Housing
[edit]According to the United States Census Bureau, there are an estimated 5,045,356 houses in Ohio, of which 4,499,506, or about 89.2% are estimated to be occupied;[217] this is 0.8% above the national average rate of occupation.[217] Houses with a mortgage are estimated to cost owners about $1,216 per month,[217] which is $186 below the national average.[217] The United States Census Bureau also estimates that 3,150,239 houses are owner-occupied,[217] or about 70%, which is 2.7% above the national average, and that an estimated 1,349,267 houses are renter-occupied.[217] The median house value is $135,200,[217] which is a significant $50,000 below the national average. Also, there are an estimated 545,850 unoccupied houses.[217] The highest number of houses in Ohio were built from 1940 to 1959 (1,175,325 houses),[218] and that 3,058,721 houses are in some way dependent on utility gas.[218]
In late 2009, the average home value in Cleveland was $139,900, Cincinnati $149,900, and Columbus $164,900.[219] Clear Capital's Home Data Index in July 2009 showed that Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati led the nation in home value increases, up 19.6, 15.6 and 12.9 percent.[220] The top five counties through November 2006 for average listing price were Geauga County at $388,822, Ottawa County at $314,786, Union County at $306,872, Warren County at $267,236, and Hamilton County at $237,965.[221]
Some historians suggest Ohio is the birthplace of public housing, having submitted the first application for such to the Public Works Administration in 1933. The state was also the first to establish a local public housing authority. Ernest J. Bohn, a Romanian immigrant to Cleveland, is credited as a pioneer in public housing.[222]
Homelessness
[edit]The 2022 Annual Homelessness Assessment Report (AHAR) to Congress, produced by The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, estimated that 10,654 Ohioans faced homelessness during the year, representing 9 in every 10,000 individuals.[223] Over 80% of the homeless were sheltered.[223] This population was made up of 3,214 people who belonged to families with children, 703 unaccompanied youth, 633 veterans, and 1,023 chronically homeless individuals.[223]
Homelessness in Ohio has been declining, as Ohio ranks as one of the U.S. states with lower rates of homelessness and has a strong support system in place for the homeless population.[223] Although unchanged in recent years, the 2022 homeless population in Ohio saw a 5.4% decrease from 2007.[223] The AHAR concluded that since 2007, Ohio had seen the fourth largest decrease by state in chronic homelessness, with 1,285, or 55.7%, of the chronically homeless population escaping the cycle.[223] However, all three major cities in Ohio experienced increased homeless populations due to housing shortages in 2023.[224][225][226]
In a 1986 study of nearly 1,000 homeless individuals in Ohio, it was determined that Ohio's homeless population was quite different from traditional homeless communities. Most of the studied individuals had lived in no more than two places in the month before the study, with 65% of them having either been born in the county they lived in or lived in that county for at least a year.[227] Furthermore, 87% of the population had held a job in the past, and 25% had been working in the month before being interviewed.[227]Taxation
[edit]A new report by the Quantitative Economics and Statistics Practices (QUEST) of Ernst & Young in conjunction with the Council On State Taxation (COST), ranks Ohio as third in the nation for friendliest tax environment. The study, "Competitiveness of state and local business taxes on new investment," provides a state-by-state comparison of tax liabilities. The top five states ranked with the lowest effective tax rate on new investment are: (1) Maine (3.0%); (2) Oregon (3.8%); (3) Ohio (4.4%); (4) Wisconsin (4.5%); and (5) Illinois (4.6%).[33]
According to the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council, Ohio's top personal income tax rate ranks #25 as of 2014[update].[228] The rate has been steadily declining since the 2005 tax reform, dropping from $11,506.20 + 7.5% of excess over $200,000 in 2004 to $8,671.63 + 5.421% of excess over $208,500 in 2013.[229] Ohio has replaced its corporate income tax with a gross receipts tax called the Commercial Activity Tax (CAT).[229] Businesses with annual taxable gross receipts of more than $150,000 are subject to an annual minimum CAT of $150.[229] Businesses with annual taxable gross receipts in excess of $1 million are subject to the annual minimum CAT of $150 plus apply a CAT effective rate of .26% on receipts above $1 million on a quarterly basis (with a $250,000 quarterly exclusion).[229] Ohio is #24 in average property taxes at 3.016% of personal income, but the taxes vary by city and district. The state is #29 in overall average percentage of income used for sales, excise, and gross receipt taxes at 3.234%.[230]
Below are the simple personal income tax rates for Ohio:[229]
Income range | Tax rate per dollar earned |
---|---|
$0–$26050 | $0 |
$26050–$100000 | $360.69 + 2.75% of excess over $26,050 |
More than $100000 | $2,394.32 + 3.5% of excess over $100,000 |
