Economists say is good news for Ohio. More than 28,000 manufacturing jobs were added nationally, according to the report.
While local and state numbers will be released later, economist says Ohio usually follows national trends.
“I f conditions are good nationally, they will be good in Ohio, just perhaps not as strong as the rest of the United States. (Ohio) tends to have a lot of employment in industries that are kind of more old-line.”
Faucher says that national job growth totaled about 235,000 for February. Other fields with high growth were construction, mining, education and health services.
