Ohio ranks 1st in the gross state product of the rubbers and plastics industry of any state. Gross state product (or gross regional product) is a measurement of the economic output of a state or Province. [11] For the 5-year period of 2000-2004, inflation-adjusted production increased around 10%. [11] In addition, in this period, the US rubber and plastics industry only grew 6%. [11]

Ohio exported around $1. 3 billion worth of rubber and plastics shipments in 2006. [11] Rubber and plastics exports make up for 7. 3% of total sales. [11] Canada is the largest importer of Ohio's $1. 3 billion worth of exports, accounting for 46% of this amount.

However, despite increased production, employment has been decreasing in Ohio's rubber and plastic industry. [11] In 2000, Ohio employed around 92,000 rubber and plastics industry workers. By 2006, those rates have declined by about 26% to about 69,000 workers. [11] The Ohio Bureau of Labor Market Information predicts that, from 2004-2014, there will be 11,200 less workers in Ohio's industry. [11] They also predict that plastics employment in Ohio will decrease by 13. 7%, and that rubber products employment will decrease by 20. 7%. [11] The industry currently employs about 73,000 Ohio workers,[11] and employs about 12. 3% of the United States' rubber employees, and 7. 8% of the United States' plastics employees. [11]

[12] The Ohio Department of Development also reported that $33. 7 billion were spent by tourists. [12] The analysis is as follows:[12]

The above expenditures give Ohio approximately $1. 4 billion in state taxes and $702 million in local taxes. [14] Northeast Ohio received 29% of all tourism expenditures. [12] The tourism industry in Ohio currently gives work to 560,000 people directly, and many others indirectly. [12]

Marysville is a city in Union County, Ohio, United States. It is the County seat of Union County. [16] The Accord's Ohio production exceeded 200,000,[15] one of only five models to do so in Ohio. [15]

The current state of the motor vehicle industry in Ohio is mixed and dotted. In 2002, the Ohio motor vehicle industry produced about $16 billion of items. [15] This is about 14% of the automobile production of the United States, and Ohio outputs every state in production of motor vehicles except for Michigan. Michigan ( is a Midwestern state of the United States of America. [15] These $16 billion account for approximately 4. 1% of Ohio's gross state product; however, the motor vehicle industry only accounts for 1. Gross state product (or gross regional product) is a measurement of the economic output of a state or Province. 1% of the United States' output. [15] In 2003, Ohio was able to produce about 1,885,000 motor vehicles, accounting for 15. 6% of the United States' production, and, again, more than any state except for Michigan, in which 928,000 of these were automobiles. Michigan ( is a Midwestern state of the United States of America. [15] The Ohio Department of Development estimates that there are 555 motor vehicle production establishments in Ohio, and that by employing around 138,000 people, Ohio motor vehicle production employees account for 12. Ohio ( is a Midwestern state of the United States. As part of the Great Lakes region, Ohio has long been a cultural and geographical crossroads 7% of the United States' motor vehicle production employees. [15] Despite sharp losses since 1999, the motor vehicle production industry was able to recover in 2001, producing a net gain of 148,000 vehicles. [15] General Motors produced the plurality of motor vehicles in Ohio, with 36. General Motors Corporation ( GM) ( is a multinational automobile manufacturer founded in 1908 and headquartered in the United States. 5% of the production of motor vehicles in Ohio, followed closely by Honda with 35.

Ford Motor Company is an American Multinational corporation and the world's fourth largest automaker based on Worldwide vehicle sales, following 5% of production). [15] However, despite the growth listed above, employment statistics and outlooks are much more grim. In 2004, the number of people employed in the motor vehicle assembly industry in Ohio was reported to be around 31,000, down from about 40,000 throughout the 1990s,[15] while in the motor vehicle parts production industry in Ohio, in December 1997, employment stood at approximately 122,000 employees;[15] however, that number dropped by about 26% to 90,000 employees by 2004. [15] Despite the growth facts above, the loss of employment is more likely to directly affect Ohio's economy. The Ohio Bureau of Labor Market Information estimates that there will be 3,300 less assembly employees and 2,400 less parts manufacturing employees in 2012 than 2002. [15] Some major motor vehicle assembly production plants in Ohio include the Toledo Complex and the Lordstown Assembly. The Toledo Complex is an Automobile factory in Toledo Ohio. It is currently owned by Chrysler, but has been in operation as an automobile assembly plant The Lordstown Complex (formerly known as Lordstown Assembly and Lordstown Metal Center is part of a General Motors Automobile factory in Lordstown Ohio
