Report: 3 Ohio cities among best for finding summer jobs
OHIO — While summer may mean a time for relaxing, it’s also a time for younger people to find some work outside of school to make a little bit of extra cash on the side.
A recent report from the finance website WalletHub ranked the best 100 cities in America to find a summer job, and three Ohio cities made the list.
WalletHub compared 182 cities with two key dimensions: youth job market, and social environment and affordability. This included the availability of summer jobs and internships, access to public transportation, rental price as a share of median income and the unemployment rate of people ages 16 to 24.
The 182 cities also included the 150 most populated cities, as well as at least two of the most populated cities in each state.
Cincinnati got the highest ranking of the Ohio cities, coming in 28th place. Cleveland was placed at No. 62 and Akron at No. 77.
Some other Ohio cities made the ranking, just outside of the 100 top spots. Toledo came next at No. 105, with Columbus following at No. 112.
As for the best jobs markets for young people in the whole country, here were the top five:
- Columbia, Maryland
- Scottsdale, Arizona
- Portland, Maine
- Orlando, Florida
- South Burlington, Vermont
As for the worst cities for summer jobs, they are:
- Laredo, Texas
- Memphis, Tennessee
- Baton Rouge, Louisiana
- Moreno Valley, California
- Jackson, Mississippi

The Marietta community held a meeting about Ohio Issue One
MARIETTA, Ohio (WTAP) – We Are Ohio and Union Strong held a meeting to discuss Ohio Issue One.
Issue One is a bill that aims to end gerrymandering. Gerrymandering is defined as manipulating the boundaries in electoral districts to benefit a political party. The meeting itself allowed members of the community learn about what the bill aims to do and ask questions.
Associate Director of Common Cause Ohio, Mia Lewis, said she wanted to inform the public about Ohio Issue One.
However, Ohio republicans are against the bill. The Washington County Republican Party Chairman, Joe Derkin, said “Ohio Issue One is like a trojan horse. It claims to end gerrymandering but will only encourage it.”

No. 5/1 Ohio State’s big 1st period too much for Bemidji State in season opener
BEMIDJI – If hockey games were decided solely on the second and third periods, Bemidji State would have turned some heads around the WCHA on Friday night.
Unfortunately for the Beavers, all three periods count.
Ohio State, ranked No. 5/1 in the country, wasn’t going to start 0-3-0, and it made sure of it in the first period.
The Buckeyes scored three goals on their first three shots en route to spoiling BSU’s home and season opener on Friday night at the Sanford Center. OSU potted five in the opening frame on its way to an 8-2 win.
“In our defensive zone, we got caught running around a lot,” Bemidji State head coach Amber Fryklund said. “We weren’t communicating, and that’s something we can control. We made some adjustments before the second period, and I thought we got better. Getting that first (game) out of the way, there’s so many details and habits that we will (see) in game film.”
Ohio State led 3-0 at the first-period media timeout, with goals from Makenna Webster, Josie St. Martin and Kiara Zanon. Webster scored her second goal with 6:20 left in the first period before Jocelyn Amos made it 5-0.
But just when it looked like it was going to end up as a repeat of last season’s WCHA Playoff quarterfinal, a series where OSU outscored the Beavers 18-1, BSU found some life.
Sophomore defenseman Riley Reeves hit the post in the waning minutes of the opening frame. Sophomore Hailey Armstrong was stuffed by Buckeyes goalie Amanda Thiele on a breakaway shortly after.
It proved to be a turning point for Bemidji State.
“First-period jitters,” Fryklund said with a laugh. “We talked about how we make sure we competed every single shift. We talked about playing good in the defensive zone and getting pucks to the net. Without the first period, I thought we did those things pretty well tonight.”
Armstrong was given another chance on a breakaway in the second period. While shorthanded, she beat Thiele with a left-to-right deke for BSU’s first goal this season.
“She’s been working really hard, and it’s fun to see her get rewarded for her hard work,” Fryklund said. “She’s a goal scorer, so it’s fun to see her get that one.”
Redshirt freshman Isa Goettl, a transfer from Minnesota, scored her first collegiate goal in the third period. Goettle, who played one game last season for the Gophers, cleaned up a loose puck near the goal mouth, with assists going to Morgan Smith and Shelby Sanberg.
Smith, a freshman, and Sandberg, a sophomore, played on a line with Goettl on Friday. The trio had one career point between the three of them heading into this season.
“I’m super proud of her, her effort and her compete,” Fryklund said of Goettl. “It was really neat to see her rewarded for all of that, too. I thought all of our first-year players played really well and did a really good job.”
BSU also turned to graduate transfer Josie Bothun in goal. She made 26 saves in her first game with the Beavers.
Bemidji State threw eight new college hockey players in the lineup on Friday, including six freshmen. It was a lineup that held one of the nation’s powerhouses to just two goals on 22 shots over the final two periods.
The Buckeyes scored three goals in the final two periods. Jordyn Petrie had two of them, while Jocelyn Amos had another.
“We talk about celebrating the small wins,” Fryklund said. “We scored two goals, scored a (shorthanded goal). Isa, a freshman, scored her first goal. We’re going to take this, learn from it and come back tomorrow and be better.”
The Beavers are back at the Sanford Center at 3:01 p.m. on Saturday to close out the series against OSU. After how the final two periods finished, Fryklund sees a stroke of poise from her team despite the six-goal loss.
“We (wanted) to get pucks behind their defense and take advantage of our speed,” Fryklund said. “We kind of found out we could get behind them. That helped our confidence.”
No. 5/1 Ohio State 8, Bemidji State 2
OSU 5 2 1 – 8
BSU 0 1 1 – 2
First period – OSU GOAL: Webster (Buglioni, Wheeler) 2:24; OSU GOAL: Martin (Peschel, Zanon) 6:06; OSU GOAL: Buglioni (Disher, Brengman) 12:19; OSU GOAL: Webster (Wheeler) 13:40.
Second period – OSU GOAL: Amos (Peschel) 2:24; BSU GOAL: Armstrong (Reeves, G. Hendrickson) SH, 10:29; OSU GOAL: Petrie (Peschel, Webster) PP, 14:40.
Third period – BSU GOAL: Goettl (Smith, Sandberg) 4:52; OSU GOAL: Petrie (McCoshen, Peschel) 9;43.
Saves – Bothun (BSU) 26; Thiele (OSU) 8.

Ohio State QB Receives Big Projections vs. Michigan State
The Ohio State Buckeyes are set to begin their Big Ten schedule this week on the road against the Michigan State Spartans. After starting the season against Akron, Western Michigan, and Marshall, facing Michigan State will be a chance for Ohio State to shut down the narrative that they’re beating no-name teams.
Granted, the Spartans are not that good either. However, starting off Big Ten play with a dominant win would be a step towards shutting down all of the outside noise.
For Will Howard, this will be his first Big Ten matchup. He has looked solid to begin his Buckeyes’ career and is being projected to have another good game this week.
Rotowire has released their Week 5 projections for Howard. They are expecting the Ohio State signal caller to complete 21 of his 29 pass attempts for 283 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions.
Those numbers would be more than acceptable for the Buckeyes. He would lead a strong passing game and would help open up the ground attack with those numbers.
Fans would love to see even bigger production, but the above projections would help grow even more confidence in Howard’s ability to play well on a big stage.
So far this season in three games, Howard has completed 68.9 percent of his passes for 795 yards, six touchdowns, and an interception. He has also scored two touchdowns on the ground.
Despite putting up solid production, there are still questions about Howard’s ability to lead Ohio State to a national championship.
He will have to keep proving himself week in and week out. That being said, if he can continue playing the solid brand of football that he has shown to this point, he won’t be the part of the team that holds them back from winning it all.
Expect to see Howard come out strong on Saturday. He’s ready to begin Big Ten play and should put together another solid performance for the Buckeyes against Michigan State.
