The Ohio Business Development Coalition has announced that Ohio has more of the fastest-growing tech cities than any other state.

According to Dice.com, the fastest-growing metro areas for technology job openings in terms of year-over-year growth since February 2010 include Cincinnati with 75-percent growth, Cleveland with 62-percent growth and Columbus with 57-percent growth.

"The surge in Ohio's high-tech job growth is further proof that its purposeful business redesign with a low-cost tax structure is leading the way in creating 21st century job opportunities for the state's high-quality, skilled workforce and making businesses more competitive around the world," states the article.

Ohio's high-tech workforce and education programs, access to markets, low start-up costs, access to business capital and support services, low-cost communities, and low-stress commutes make it an attractive place to start a business.

Ed Burghard, executive director of the Ohio Business Development Coalition, said, "Ohio has proactively redesigned its business climate to support a leading 21st century global economy. Strategic tax reform and economic development incentives encourage global success and make the state an ideal location to profitably compete from in the global marketplace."
