Good morning, Youngstown.

The Youngstown/Warren Chamber released new economic data on Monday that shows our labor force, population and wages are growing—indicating renewed local strength.

The Chamber is working with local groups to remove work barriers—like transportation and childcare—to help more people join and stay in the workforce.

The Ohio Film Office filed a motion in federal court on Friday to dismiss the Youngstown Regional Film Commission's lawsuit, saying the claims of interference and coercion lack legal basis and should be handled by the state court system—relying on the Eleventh Amendment and federal law that limit private lawsuits against state agencies. Frederick D’Amico, who started the commission in 2015, has not yet responded to the motion.
