In this podcast La'Daisha looks at how manufacturing affects unemployment rates locally. Manufacturing is the production of merchandise for use or sale using labor and machines, tools, chemical and biological processing. My person of contact was Jan Arsenault, President of Tjar innovations in Xenia, Ohio. Ohio’s unemployment rate has dipped to 6.1% in March, 2014, the lowest it has been since April 2008 when it was 5.9 percent.
