In April central Ohio’s unemployment rate was the lowest it has been in over a year, according to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. Throughout the state, jobless rates fell in all but two of 88 counties. Despite this, Cleveland’s unemployment rate rose by 0.4 percent from 7.8 percent in March to 8.3 percent.
One industry that has been relatively solid nationwide will soon lose Cleveland jobs. The MetroHealth System recently announced that it will be cutting $17 million from this years budget. To achieve this, the hospital system has decided to do away with certain positions and change the hours that others work.

MetroHealth plans to get rid of 73 Cleveland jobs as of June 1st. On top of this, many positions that the hospital has been trying to fill will also receive the axe. An additional 33 employees have been informed that there will soon be working less hours and therefore receiving smaller pay checks. It is unknown at this time if and how patient care will be effected by these changes.
Those who will be losing their jobs in Cleveland have been informed that they have the option of finding other positions within the healthcare system, but that each vacant slot is being investigated to determine if it is absolutely necessary. Individuals that chose to look for employment elsewhere will continue to receive health benefits until the end of June.
MetroHealth’s came to decision to do away with these Cleveland jobs after experiencing a first-quarter loss of almost $8 million. Interim President Mark Moran said in a message to employees that all department s were asked to come up a plan of action to reduce expenses and/or increase revenues to reach budget commitments. Because of this Moran says that departments will be expected to make smarter purchasing decisions, consolidate services and find new ways to increase the hospital system’s efficiency. Aside from the changes in staff numbers for filling jobs in health care, the company will be doing away with their catering and travel budgets.
