Each year TechAmerica publishes a state-by-state overview of the nation's high-tech industry called Cyberstates, the vast majority of which is comprised of the computer and electronic manufacturing industry. In the 2009 edition of Cyberstates, Ohio's 11,100 high-tech companies made it the 12th largest high-tech state by number of establishments.
Ohio is home to 159,900 high-tech employees, ranking the state 14th nationally in terms of high-tech employment. In 2007, Ohio's high-tech economy demonstrated its strength in the midst of a global economic downturn by adding 4,700 jobs, the state's 3rd consecutive year of net growth. Ohio's high-tech workforce earns an average salary of $67,200, which ranks 30thin the nation. The state's large high-tech workforce and low average salary is a strong indicator that the state can support high-tech business at a lower cost than other locations.
Ohio's high-tech industry is boasted through support of innovative programs such as Ohio Third Frontier, which promotes economic growth by expanding the availability of investment capital needed to form new companies, supporting product innovation in established companies, facilitating commercialization of new products, funding collaborative projects between private companies and Ohio colleges and universities and nurturing Ohio's increasingly experienced pool of entrepreneurial management. The state's technology workforce pipeline is annually replenished with over 80,000 graduates from the state's institutions of higher education, including the University System of Ohio's 14 main campuses, including The Ohio State University.
