?Ohio is the heart of opportunity, and today, we are making history,? said Governor DeWine. ?We have yet another record low unemployment rate in July at 3.3 percent, below the national rate of 3.5 percent. Our formula in Ohio is working, and today?s jobs news is proof of that.?

Governor Husted. ?We?ve had six months in a row that our unemployment rate has been below 4 percent, and we have gained 67,700 private sector jobs in the first seven months of 2023. A growing economy is important for more than economic reasons?it allows our children and grandchildren to have great career opportunities without ever leaving Ohio."
