Ohio loses 20,400 jobs in March, leading the nation in monthly job loss

April 19, 2013

Ohio lost 20,400 jobs in March, more than any other state, the U.S. Labor Department reported Friday.

The decrease comes a month after Ohio reported a healthy 16,100 gain in jobs in February.

The last time Ohio lost more jobs in a month was April 2009, when the state's employment fell by 44,000. That was during the recession, a time of peak job loss in the state and nationally.

George Zeller of Cleveland, an economic research analyst, said posting such a large job loss now is alarming.

"This is not only a bad number -- this is disastrous," he said.

The article further states that the unemployment rate remained at 7.1%. You also have to take into account the under-employed, those who just gave up do to the lack of jobs, etc.
