# Ohio Added 249 New Job Postings This Week, Up 59% From the Prior Week

*September 21, 2026, by Ben Garves*

[Ohio](https://career.thegoodapps.co/jobs/in/ohio) picked up **249 new job postings** in the last seven days across the employer job boards we track, against **157** the week before. That is a gain of 92 roles, or 58.6% week over week.

The national week was strong too — **10,459 new postings** across all tracked boards, up from **7,163**, a 46% increase. Ohio beat that pace, which nudged its share of all new postings from 2.2% to 2.4%. Small movement, but in the right direction.

## Where Ohio sits in the pack

Ohio ranked fifth by new postings this week among the 12 states with openings on our boards, just ahead of [Tennessee](https://career.thegoodapps.co/jobs/in/tennessee) at 244 and behind [Florida](https://career.thegoodapps.co/jobs/in/florida) at 436. The top four were [California](https://career.thegoodapps.co/jobs/in/california) at 983, [Texas](https://career.thegoodapps.co/jobs/in/texas) at 621, [New York](https://career.thegoodapps.co/jobs/in/new-york) at 495, and Florida.

The ranking has been stable — Ohio was fifth last week as well, on 157 new roles.

## Growth rate, not just volume

On percentage change, Ohio landed in the middle of the pack: seventh of twelve. New York more than doubled its new-posting count (+116%), California added 93%, Florida 93%, and [Massachusetts](https://career.thegoodapps.co/jobs/in/massachusetts) 90%. Ohio's 58.6% sat above [Tennessee](https://career.thegoodapps.co/jobs/in/tennessee) (+56%), [Texas](https://career.thegoodapps.co/jobs/in/texas) (+55%), [North Carolina](https://career.thegoodapps.co/jobs/in/north-carolina) (+43%), [Illinois](https://career.thegoodapps.co/jobs/in/illinois) (+39%) and [Minnesota](https://career.thegoodapps.co/jobs/in/minnesota) (+25%).

Every one of the twelve states grew week over week. That is the main story here: this was a broad up-week across the boards we crawl, not an Ohio-specific event. Ohio simply did a little better than average inside it.

## What was posting

Our employer and occupation counts are board-wide rather than split by state, so read this as the national backdrop Ohio's 249 roles came out of.

The heaviest posters this week were [VF Corporation](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/vf-corporation) with 654 new roles (897 open), [AdventHealth](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/adventhealth) with 559 (991 open), and [Ranger Boats](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/ranger-boats) with 527 (732 open). [Cleveland Clinic](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/cleveland-clinic) was fourth with 320 new roles and 885 open in total — the largest health system on the list after AdventHealth. [Stryker Corporation](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/stryker-corporation) posted 196 new roles against 759 open, and [U.S. Bank](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/u-s-bank) carried the biggest open book of any employer we track at 1,010.

By occupation, [Software Engineer](https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/software-engineer) dominated the week with 63 new postings, up from 11 the prior week. Nothing else came close: [Product Manager](https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/product-manager) had 17, and [Engineering Manager](https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/engineering-manager), [Sales Associate](https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/sales-associate), [Sales Manager](https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/sales-manager) and [Operations Manager](https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/operations-manager) tied at 11 each. [Accountant](https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/accountant) and [Program Manager](https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/program-manager) each posted 10, both up from 1 a week earlier.

On skills, [Python](https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/python) led with 84 mentions in new postings, followed by [Salesforce](https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/salesforce) at 53, [SQL](https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/sql) at 50 and [Microsoft Excel](https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/microsoft-excel) at 49. [Inventory Management](https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/inventory-management) showed up 23 times — a reminder that the week's volume is not all software.

## The wider frame

Zoom out and the picture cools off. Over the last 30 days the boards we track logged 28,720 new postings versus 29,418 in the prior 30 — down slightly. And 19,759 listings closed in the last seven days against 10,459 opened, so total inventory shrank even in a strong posting week. Open listings stand at 58,138 from 686 employers hiring.

Remote roles were 4% of everything new this week, so Ohio job seekers looking at these 249 postings should expect the large majority to be on-site.
