Paid Family Leave in Ohio
oin the Ohio Workforce Coalition for our final webinar of 2025. We'll hear from Margie Glick, Director of Advocacy at Collaborate Cleveland, who will discuss a growing effort to make paid family leave a reality in Ohio. Participants will learn why paid family leave is urgently needed, and how advocates are working together to make this pro-work and pro-worker policy available in Ohio. We'll wrap up the session with a Q&A, so bring questions you have about paid family leave.
When Working Isn’t Enough: Wages and Public Benefits in Ohio
The Ohio Workforce Coalition commissioned The Center for Community Solutions to investigate wages, public benefit eligibility, and benefit uptake by occupation in Ohio. Despite working - often full-time - many Ohioans still require benefit assistance (e.g., SNAP and Medicaid) to access food and medical care. This report outlines key findings from 10 low wage occupations, benefit usage by occupation, and policy recommendations. Fact sheets for each occupation (e.g., childcare worker, home health aide, assemblers and fabricators) include wages, number of job openings, projected growth, benefit eligibility, and whether Black workers are overrepresented in the low wage job.
