Economic Transformation
April 29th, 2008Ohio is going through quite an economic transformation—traditional manufacturing jobs are giving way to a new generation of workers sometimes referred to as "green collar" workers.
In order to make this transition, these more traditionally-trained workers are using their years of expertise in industries like automotive to make a foray into the green collar workforce.
Northwest Ohio is a great example of a region shedding its "Glass City" image and making great strides to transition into an emerging advanced energy industry. You may have seen some of the recent coverage in the Wall Street Journal and Newsweek.
