I have reached out to several of my colleagues to see if there is some current data on this topic. Below are a few links to some articles that talk about economics. There is no one data source for these numbers but one place to check.

For the national outlook a good resource of data is the National Invasive Species Council https://www.doi.gov/invasivespecies
I will see if I can get more Ohio specific data for you.
