The Race for Ohio’s Economic Future

It’s no secret that Ohio is a fierce—and successful—economic competitor. But the state now faces pressing questions about its ability to remain competitive in a rapidly changing national and global landscape. With slowing population growth, workforce shortages, trade and tariff uncertainty, and the added strain of constricted international immigration, Ohio’s economic trajectory is at a crossroads. With Steve Stivers, President & CEO of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, and J.P. Nauseef, President & CEO of JobsOhio, we’ll unpack the powerful forces shaping the state’s economic future—from talent pipelines and demographic shifts to infrastructure demands and the race to secure high‑growth industries—as we take on a trillion‑dollar question: can Ohio stay ahead of the economic pack?

Featuring J.P. Nauseef, President and CEO, JobsOhio; Steve Stivers, President and CEO, The Ohio Chamber of Commerce, with moderator Angela An, News & Boomtown Series Anchor, WBNS 10TV and additional panelists to be announced.
