With tax day coming up tomorrow, Ohio got more good news as a result of the GOP tax cuts, as Cincinnati’s Kroger announced a massive new investment in its workforce.
Citing the new tax law, Kroger announced plans to hire 11,000 new employees and invest $500 million in wages and training for associates over the next three years. Among the new programs is an initiative to offer up to $3,500 annually for continuing education and an increase in its 401(k) company match to 5%. Kroger joins more than 500 companies across the country that have announced investments in their workforce as a result of the tax cuts, including such major Ohio employers as Fifth Third Bank and Nationwide.
Despite the undeniable success of the GOP tax cuts, Sherrod Brown and his Democrat colleagues in Washington continue to push their plans to repeal the law and raise taxes on Ohio families and businesses.
