Greater Cleveland is on the rise—ranked among the top 10 regions for young professionals, with unemployment below 4% for two consecutive years, and a business sector that’s outperforming the market.
The world is taking note—even The Wall Street Journal called us “the new center of the world.”

The All In Plan
Our work is guided by the vision, values and priorities of the region's plan. Priority areas include:
Greater Cleveland is All In.
While we celebrate these milestones, we stay committed to measuring our progress against our peer set of Midwest Metros on three metrics of regional success: Business Growth, Income Growth and Jobs Growth.
“The region is making progress and the results are showing in Business Growth, very strong Income Growth, and below 4% unemployment for the last two years.
Our biggest challenge is now people: with thriving businesses, plentiful jobs, and a great place to live, we need more people to propel our growth.”
