With a population of 11.7 million people, Ohio is the 7th largest state by population and the 34th largest by size. Ohio is a state rich in natural resources, cheap energy, and productive soils. Local industries take full advantage of Ohio's oil, salt, coal, limestone, sandstone, natural gas, and other resources. Heavily engulfed in agriculture and mineral production, those are two of the state's greatest sources of income. However, manufacturing is still one of Ohio's most important economic activities.

Ohio's major industries include aerospace, advanced energy, agriculture and food processing, motor vehicle and parts manufacturing, and professional and financial services. North Ohio's major industries include fuel cells, liquid crystal displays, polymers, bioscience, chemicals, logistics, and distribution.

While Cleveland may be more expensive than the US as a whole when it comes to the cost of living, Columbus and Cincinnati both have a cost of living lower than the national average.
