About this measure |
This measure outlines the number of post-secondary awards made within each county.

Comparative analysis data are provided by the Ohio Department of Education while county historical performance data are provided by JobsEQ.

Additionally, increasing the education of the local workforce can have a positive effect on the County's ability to attract and retain businesses.
