Ohio's economic history 1970-2009

Those of us who have lived in Ohio the last 4o years understand that our State economy has mostly declined over those years; but Robert Barga at Whalertly brings it into high relief by presenting a carefully-researched report comparing the State with that county that has a very atypical economic base -- Franklin County. The numbers are revealing, and the report very interesting.

Secessionist note: According to the report, Ohio, with all its problems, would still have the 17th largest economy in the world.

note, said barga is also only 21, which puts it in a different light

you know, there is a map that shows each state's economy as if it were a country, are you interested in it?

Interesting map, wasn't it? I used it a month ago.
