WELLINGTON, Ohio (WOIO) - Small business owners across Northeast Ohio are hopeful that a statewide reduction in unemployment benefits will lead more people to fill job openings.
Earlier this week, Ohio stopped paying an additional $300 per week bonus to those who were receiving unemployment.
The cost was covered by federal funding, on top of state benefits.
“Thank God,” said Robert Fortney, who’s owned Fort’s Old Town Tavern in Wellington for nearly 30 years.
