Ohio Jobs Loss Is Biggest Seven-Year Decline Since 1939 - 02/22/08

Ohio has become the key battleground state in the battle ground state in the race for the Democratic nomination. The big question is, how will the candidates react to a new study showing Ohio’s job losses since 2000 are worse than since the Great Depression? Jesse Russell reports:

Up until Wisconsin the two top candidates running for President on the Democratic side of the ticket were vague about where they stood on trade. The tone changed after Illinois Senator Barack Obama spoke to a plant of autoworkers in Janesville, Wisconsin outlining his plans for trade and the economy. Since then New York Senator Hillary Clinton has also begun including more trade talk in her speeches.
