Failed Drug Tests Hinder Hiring At Ohio Businesses

June 01, 2012 posted by Steve Brownstein

According to a new survey, almost half of Ohio manufacturing companies have rejected a candidate for an hourly position because of a failed drug test in the past year.

Across all industries in the state, 25.5 percent of businesses said they had to dismiss otherwise qualified applicants for an hourly position, but for manufacturing only it was 47.5 percent, according to the survey done by Employers Resource Council for the Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board of Cuyahoga County.

The results appear to back up the anecdotal assertion that one reason Ohio employers are slow to fill vacancies is rampant drug abuse.
