Cleveland Fed reports that the Columbus area is "leading the state to recovery"
A report for the 4th quarter of 2013 from the Cleveland Fed found that the Columbus metropolitan area "continues to outperform" all other metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) in Ohio and most others in the Midwest. The area benefits from its large share of institutional employers, including especially educational institutions, as well as the presence of the state capital and the "multiple Fortune 500 companies headquartered or doing business there." The report, "Columbus–leading the state to recovery," found that employment growth remains positive in the region, "with the healthcare and professional and business service sectors showing the greatest strength."
