State Budget 101 + Q&A with OWC’s Lobbyist
Thursday, April 24, 2025 | 1:00-2:00pm
Join us for this special members-only webinar. The Ohio Workforce Coalition recently engaged The Junto Company to lobby on our behalf at the Statehouse and within agency departments to advance workforce development and quality jobs within Ohio. Paul Kudlak and Vince Squillace will provide an overview of the state budget process currently underway and answer questions members may have. We'll also have time for a general "ask the expert" session so come ready with questions!

When Working Isn’t Enough: Wages and Public Benefits in Ohio
The Ohio Workforce Coalition commissioned The Center for Community Solutions to investigate wages, public benefit eligibility, and benefit uptake by occupation in Ohio. Despite working - often full-time - many Ohioans still require benefit assistance (e.g., SNAP and Medicaid) to access food and medical care. This report outlines key findings from 10 low wage occupations, benefit usage by occupation, and policy recommendations. Fact sheets for each occupation (e.g., childcare worker, home health aide, assemblers and fabricators) include wages, number of job openings, projected growth, benefit eligibility, and whether Black workers are overrepresented in the low wage job.
