According to the latest report issued Friday from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services , Ohio’s unemployment rate hit a 25-year high in March as job losses continued to mount. The unemployment rate in Ohio rose from a revised 95 percent in February to 9.7 percent in March, the highest rate since April 1984.
ODJFS spokesman Brian Harter said:
“We continue to see a reflection of the economic trend that’s going on across the country here in Ohio. In particular in this part of the country, that has meant a large loss in manufacturing jobs.”
