Big Drop for Central Ohio Unemployment

Posted December 21, 2011

The Columbus and Central Ohio jobless number was 7.6% in October 2011 and dropped to 6.6% in November 2011. That’s a major improvement. That’s the best in three years. The lowest was Delaware County at 5.5% and the highest was Pickaway County at 8.5 %.

You can see it and feel it around here. Retail vacancies are down. New homes are coming out of the ground. New and resale home sales have been up for months. It’s hugely difficult to find available retail space in several hot areas of the Columbus metro such as the OSU campus area and the Short North. The Short North is becoming the ‘long’ north as its extending all the way from downtown to OSU.

It looks like Columbus will have a happy bicentennial in 2012

Ohio’s unemployment rate dropped from 9% to 8.5%.
