Annual Report 2022: About JobsOhio
Unique Model
In 2013, the JobsOhio Beverage System purchased from the state a stable funding source for JobsOhio through a modernized, customer-focused, and efficient private enterprise for the responsible sale and distribution of high-proof spirits. Since then, our team has been working tirelessly to improve the customer experience and operating systems. Thanks to the Beverage System, in partnership with the Ohio Division of Liquor, the unique public-private partnership has nearly doubled revenue since 2017, yielding record profit dollars that pay for JobsOhio’s economic development initiatives and substantial annual profit-sharing payments to the state. The JobsOhio Beverage System model is unlike anything else in the U.S., and it is helping to fuel Ohio’s economic growth and innovation.
