Ohio

Overview

Ohio skilled-labor workforce exposure: composite WEI 88 (High, rising) at Q2 2026 — the highest state read in the WIL archive. Public-source context indicates Intel Ohio One in New Albany/Licking County carries an electrical scope publicly reported at over $1 billion. IBEW Local 683 is dispatching travelers under Project Cyprus, consistent with local pipeline insufficiency. Ohio ranked #1 nationally for single-month construction job growth in March 2026. A living record, updated each quarter.
