Abstract

Ohio's wood industry cluster contributes nearly \$25 billion and 116,321 jobs to the state's economy, yet most of this value-added impact occurs outside of the heavily forested Appalachian Ohio region. This research, conducted as part of a Small Business Administration Regional Innovation Cluster grant, includes a multi-industry economic contribution analysis to document wood industry impacts to the entire State of Ohio and the 32-county Appalachian Ohio region. Findings indicated that Appalachian Ohio contained lower paying and lower on the value chain sectors compared to the state. This paper highlights these metrics and presents recommendations to improve investment and value-added industry opportunities in the wood industry cluster to support Appalachian Ohio.
俄亥俄州木材产业集群的经济贡献:在阿巴拉契亚地区寻找机会
俄亥俄州的木材产业集群为该州经济贡献了近250亿美元和116,321个就业岗位,但这种增值影响大多发生在森林茂密的阿巴拉契亚俄亥俄州地区以外。这项研究是小企业管理局区域创新集群拨款的一部分,包括多行业经济贡献分析,以记录木材行业对整个俄亥俄州和32个县的俄亥俄州阿巴拉契亚地区的影响。调查结果表明,与该州相比,俄亥俄州阿巴拉契亚地区的工资和价值链部门都较低。本文重点介绍了这些指标,并提出了改善木材产业集群投资和增值产业机会的建议,以支持俄亥俄州阿巴拉契亚地区。
