Ohio recently ranked seventh in CNBC’s ‘Top States for Business’ report, beating out states like Michigan, Tennessee, Indiana, and Illinois.

The Buckeye State jumped five spots from the 2023 rankings, due in part to strong economic momentum and large strategic investments in innovation, infrastructure, and workforce development.

Based on an evaluation of ten categories, Ohio notably showed strength in infrastructure (#13), cost of doing business (#2), cost of living (#4), and jumped nearly half of all states in business friendliness from #40 to #24. 7/25/2024
