Hiring in Youngstown, Ohio

The largest city and county seat of Mahoning County, Youngstown, is a midwestern city, falling within a region of America often referred to as the Rust Belt. The city also acts as the midway between Chicago and New York City via Interstate 80. Named after John Young, an early settler who established the community's first sawmill and gristmill, Youngstown has previously been a center of steel production and is the site of several steel and metalworking operations. 

A culturally rich and demographically diverse city, Youngstown has a lot to offer potential employers. Let’s take a closer look.

 

Youngstown Overview

Youngstown is located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in the Appalachian Ohio region. It was the birthplace of the Good Humor brand of ice cream and is home to several other nationally renowned brands. According to the latest United States Census, the city has a population of 60,068 with an equal number of White and African American residents. The city of Youngstown offers a wide range of cultural and recreational resources including the Covelli Centre and the Youngstown Foundation Amphitheater. It also houses Powers Auditorium, which is not just the community's cultural center and a former Warner Brothers movie palace, but also home to the Youngstown Symphony Orchestra. The city also has many museums notable amongst which are The Butler Institute of American Art which was the first museum in the country dedicated to American art and the Youngstown Historical Center of Industry and Labor. Additionally, Youngstown has had a long tradition of professional and semi-pro sports, as well as minor league baseball teams. Considering that the city has an unemployment rate of 6.2 and a skilled workforce, hiring managers are eager to dip their toe in this talent pool.

Youngstown Businesses

Previously home to several steel plants, Youngstown has since evolved into a hub of industrial growth. At present, Youngstown State University (YSU) is the largest employer in the city. It is a public university serving about 15,000 students. In the metropolitan area, several auto production plants employ a sizeable portion of the city's workforce. A major industrial employer is Vallourec Star Steel Company (formerly North Star Steel), and the Exal Corporation on Poland Avenue. Youngstown's downtown has also seen new business growth and The Youngstown Business Incubator (YBI) located in the heart of downtown, is home to several start-up technology companies. One such company, Turning Technologies, has been rated the fastest-growing privately held software company in the United States by Inc. Magazine. Another employer is Youngstown-based Schwebel's Bakery, which is now a national name in the distribution of baked goods.
