## How many jobs opened in Ohio this week?

[Ohio](https://career.thegoodapps.co/jobs/in/ohio) added 230 new roles this week, eighth-highest among the states with the most new postings. Last week it added 262. Ohio accounted for 2.9% of the 8,031 new roles opened across all states this week.

The week-over-week comparison counts only boards already tracked before the comparison began, so a newly added employer board cannot inflate or deflate the change.

## How does Ohio's change compare with other states?

Ohio and [California](https://career.thegoodapps.co/jobs/in/california) were the only two states in this week's top twelve that posted fewer new roles than last week. California fell further in absolute terms, down 274 roles, from 911 to 637. Ohio's 32-role decline is small by comparison, but it runs against the direction of the other ten states on the list.

[Oregon](https://career.thegoodapps.co/jobs/in/oregon) nearly doubled, from 91 to 179. [Michigan](https://career.thegoodapps.co/jobs/in/michigan) added 158 roles, the largest gain on the list, reaching 375.
