In his remarks to workforce leaders, JobsOhio President and Chief Investment Officer J.P. Nauseef this week said Ohio’s recovery is showing progress, despite the COVID-related damage inflicted this spring. Nauseef told the Governor’s Executive Workforce Board that May’s unemployment rate dropped to 13.7% compared to April’s 17.6%. He also spotlighted several recently announced economic development projects, including that of OMA member Cerelia, a producer of ready-made doughs and baked goods.
