WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
The goal of Hometown Opportunity is to ensure that everyone in Mercer, Auglaize, Darke & Surrounding Counties are aware of the jobs and careers available. Our local companies are in need of our local talent, who all too often do not realize the great opportunity right here in our own backyard.
In Ohio and Wapakoneta, we have the statistics and trophies to prove we have a location worthy of investment.
Year after year, Ohio consistently remains a top U.S. market for business expansions for many reasons. Companies know the benefits Ohio can provide to their North American operations.
Although Ohio has often been perceived as a heavily union-organized state, trends indicate that is no longer true. Over the past 20 years, Ohio has seen a substantial drop in overall union membership, as well as a dramatic shift in unionization from the private sector, and particularly private sector manufacturing, to the public sector.
