When it comes to innovation, it seems like Ohio has some room for improvement.
A recent report by WalletHub, a personal finance website, shows the state ranks No. 32 in its Most Innovative States survey. Researchers evaluated each state and the District of Columbia on 24 different metrics – ranging from their share of STEM professionals to advanced placement exam participation by high school students to household Internet access – to come up with the rankings.
Ohio ranks in the top 15 in just two categories: open roads and skies friendly laws and federal small business funding per gross domestic product. It lags, though, in some critical components.
