Ohio Jobs: Overview

If you’re looking for Ohio jobs, you might know that Ohio is called “The Mother of Presidents” because eight men from the state have held the highest office in the land. However, Virginia argues it also is home to the most Commanders in Chief. The sticking point is William Henry Harrison, the ninth president. He was born in Virginia but lived in Ohio when elected.

One man, Nick Pahys, Jr., spent 50 years researching to settle the argument. He is so vehement about the presidential facts that he built the “One and Only Presidential Museum” in Hartsgrove, Ohio, to honor John Hanson, technically the first president of the U.S. Hanson and eight other men were elected to the office before the Constitution was written.

Other famous people that Ohio likes to name-drop as their own include Annie Oakley, Bob Hope, Clark Gable, Paul Newman, Roy Rogers, Thomas Edison, and a host of other actors, comedians, sports figures, serial killers, inventors, and historical figures.

Take a look at some great cities to start your Ohio job search, namely Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Columbus.
