Fixed that for ya. The reality is it will bring maybe a dozen permanent jobs to the entire state - a fair number of very short term jobs will come in, but almost all of those will be done by itinerant workers, so the temporary jobs benefits to Ohio will be in the form of hotel maids, fast food workers, and prostitutes. If there were money to fix the roads after the drilling crews leave, then it might bring road crews in for a few more temporary jobs, but we've already seen from pipeline installations that there's no money to repair the road damage.

We're not even the customer in mind. The point of Keystone XL is to get the oil to the Gulf of Mexico refineries, so that it can go onto tankers for export to China without having to cross the Rocky Mountains. None of it is intended for the USA in any event. Look it up...
