At a time of historic economic challenges and a deep U.S. recession, Americans remain distinctly optimistic, according to The American Reality Study research commissioned by Northwestern Mutual. The research revealed a number of surprising results about the attitudes and priorities of Americans, age 25 and up.
Today, success is measured in family units. Quality of life is more important than career, money and material possession. And middle adulthood is considered the "Golden Years" of life. What we're seeing very clearly from this research is that the 'personal balance sheet' is considered the primary yardstick for success," said Greg Oberland, Northwestern Mutual executive vice president of insurance and technology.
Why is Ohio mentioning this report? Welcome to Ohio, the State of Perfect Balance, where world class companies and those who aspire to be don't have to compromise professional or personal satisfaction in pursuit of their ambitions. The same goes for their families and the employees whom they lead. The Great State of Ohio offers business and industry many unique qualities that contribute to better balance and, ultimately, optimal business performance.
We have gathered numerous research studies, articles, testimonials and other resources that provide business leaders with compelling evidence for why they should consider the pursuit of better balance for themselves and their employees to be a key element of their business growth strategy.

In partnership with the Ohio Global Markets Division, we are extending our economic reach, building relationships and seizing opportunities on a global scale by launching the Ohio-China microsite. The goal of this site is to help position Ohio as a premier location for Chinese foreign investment
China is an important trading partner and Chinese corporations are starting to invest in the state of Ohio. The Shanghai based Ohio China Center was established in 2006 to expand business investment opportunities and trade between Ohio and China. In 2008, Ohio opened a second office in Beijing, China to complement the efforts to bolster trade relations with China. Currently there are more than 1,000 employees working for Chinese corporations in Ohio.
In addition, Ohio exported $1.8 billion worth of products to China in 2008, a 21% increase over 2007, making it Ohio's fourth largest export destination after Canada, Mexico and Japan. Please visit the new Ohio-China microsite (English or Chinese translated version) to learn more about Chinese investment in Ohio.
