Right now there really is no state economy that is a "dumpster fire" as the dude I responded to called it. I have no need to defend Ohio and no allegiance to it. I will shortly move from this state, but as I deal with reality, the reality is that:
Ohio has the 7th largest state economy.
Ohio is the 4th largest state manufacturer.
Ohio's economy would rank 21st among COUNTRIES if Ohio were a country.
Ohio unemployment rate is currently 4.4% which, while higher than the national average is still considered "full employment".
Chugging along quite well.
It may not be a dumpster fire, but the Ohio economy is lagging behind most other parts of the U.S. Some parts of Ohio are doing horrendous. There are a myriad of reasons for this that I won't go into right now.
Lagging behind most other states in the best national economy in 50+ years is nowhere near the same as a "dumpster fire" like the poster I was responding to said.
There are parts of EVERY state that comparatively are "doing horrendous". To call Ohio's economy a "dumpster fire" is flat out incorrect...as I stated initially.
Again:
Ohio has the 7th largest state economy.
Ohio is the 4th largest state manufacturer.
Ohio's economy would rank 21st among COUNTRIES if Ohio were a country.
Ohio unemployment rate is currently 4.4% which, while higher than the national average is still considered "full employment".
If that is a dumpster fire, then I say, "more please".
