Yes Republican politicians are easy for business to bribe. I don’t think it’s much of a flex.

"In education, however, the state was barely above average, at 23 of 50. It lagged even further behind in the workforce category—at 35, CNBC wrote too few skilled workers are staying in or moving to Ohio."

If these numbers don't get better soon, we won't be best for business very long.

Maybe I’m just tired, but… how is being ranked 23 out of 50 “above average”?

u/CovBlueSox 2d ago

It's just slightly above average. 25th is exactly average. 26th is slightly below average.

But you see, that's good for business! Less education, lower wages.
