Manufacturing accounts for 18% of Ohio’s Gross Domestic Product –

Nearly double the contribution of the next largest private-industry sector (real estate, rental and leasing at 9.9%).

Ohio’s total annual manufacturing output of $84.1 billion in 2008 ranked third nationally –

and was $37 billion higher than the next largest non-government sector of the state’s economy.

More than 600,000 Ohioans –

or about 14 percent of all Ohio workers –

are employed in manufacturing,

which makes manufacturing Ohio’s number-one source of non-government jobs.

Total manufacturing payroll in Ohio exceeded $38 billion in 2008,

the highest total annual wages of any economic sector, public or private.

Government = $33 billionHealth care and social assistance = $27 billionRetail trade = $14 billion

Manufacturing is a leading source of new private investment in Ohio.

In 2009, Ohio ranked first nationally in new site selections –

and manufacturing accounted for 58 percent of those investments.

In 2009, Ohio was the seventh-largest exporting state in the nation,
