Hello there
First of all,Cincinnati is a port city. In fact, it is Ohio's primary
port. The economic base of Cincinnati is due in large part to
manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade, insurance and finance. But
as we will see later in the answer, these are not the main economic
engines driving the economy.
The population of greater Cincinnati is about two million, which
includes figures from across the Ohio River in Kentucky.
The Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce has 257 companies listed it their
directory including profiles of the companies.

Some of the well known national and international companies
headquartered in the city include Kroger and Proctor & Gamble along
with Deloitte & Touche which ranks as the fastest-growing North
American technology company, based on revenues.
The largest employer in Cincinnati is The University of Cincinnati
Medical Center with 16,268 directly employed at the center.
"The result is a Medical Center that is now the leading employer in
the region and one of the most powerful economic engines in the
Tri-State...The Medical Center provides 16,268 full-time equivalent
jobs in the Tri-State (up from 14,746 in 1999), making the Medical
Center the largest employer in Greater Cincinnati. The "ripple effect"
of that direct employment generates a total of nearly 42,000 jobs in
Ohio and more than 50,000 jobs in the Tri-State that are directly or
indirectly related to the operations of the Medical Center."
