The need for Ohio businesses to fill job openings stretches beyond entry-level or relatively low-paying positions and more employers have turned to a state-run database created two years ago to help.
More than 13% more Ohio employers included needs on TopJobs.Ohio.gov than the state’s previous response rate. The website reflects current workforce needs for in-demand and critical jobs across the state, according to Gov. Mike DeWine.
“There are many opportunities here in Ohio for those who are ready to begin their careers or are looking to learn something new,” DeWine said. “Our updated Top Jobs List outlines the most in-demand and critical professions for 2022.”
The state now lists eight fields as critical jobs DeWine said supports the health and well-being of Ohioans, including children and community health, early childhood education, first responders, lead abatement and construction, mental and behavioral health, nurses, physicians and wellness research and technology.
The website launched in 2019 as a new effort to provide an interactive tool for students, teachers and workers to navigate educational efforts for in-demand jobs, according to Lt. Gov. Jon Husted. DeWine announced critical jobs have been added to the site....

And then what are you left with?
At my workplace, you are left with boosted employees who are still too scared of the 'rona to got out and do audits in person yet think nothing of sitting on top of each other at a too-small conference table munching donuts.
No social distancing at our last meeting. Quite the opposite. The table was so inadequate for the number of people at it that it makes the quintessential Christmas scene of 16 people crammed around the dining room table with two leaves and made to fit 12 look comfortable.
Not to fear, biden has a plan.
Biden’s plan: tell everyone his patience is wearing thin with those who aren’t filling these job openings.
Put me down for that mental and behavioral health job. I’ve been fighting mine all my life so that makes me an expert. I’m good at giving advice.
I might volunteer to go but then again I hate Ohio.
So, you have jobs available?
Great.
But who wants to live in Ohio?
Nobody wants to work in healthcare with all the bullcrap paper work. Many go in to work with people but get flooded by papers and exit for something else. No way I go back in that industry.
All low end jobs are filled by Mexicans. All medium range, especially IT are filled with induans. Got help you if you’re trying for the higher end white jobs/pay.
People presently in New York or California?
The entire list is of jobs awaiting is made of jobs that do NOT produce a product-—only “thinkers/feelings/etc.
Where are the AUTO workers—the CHIP MFGRS—the farmers ????
It’s just my theory, but the pervasive effect of computer games over the last 20 yrs seems to be that few young folks want to do actual hands-on work.
So there is a real lack of tradespeople and similar types.
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.

To add insult ot injury.
Force healthy workers to take time off without pay or force them to use vacation time if they are exposed to someone with the COVID.
If you want to keep valuable employees don’t force them to NOT WORK.
