A pair of Ohio Democratic state Senators are once again trying to raise Ohio’s minimum wage to $15 per hour.

On proposals to raise Ohio’s minimum wage to $15 an hour, most economists agree that it would benefit low-income Ohioans, and most say the increase would not lead to a significant increase in unemployment, according to a recent survey.

Ohio’s minimum wage is scheduled to increase Jan. 1, 2025, to $10.70 per hour for non-tipped employees and $5.35 per hour for tipped employees. The minimum wage will apply to employees of businesses with annual gross receipts of more than $394,000 per year.

Minimum wage won’t be on Ohio’s ballot this year, but it could be on next year’s.

Ohioans need to be making at least $20.81 an hour working a full-time job to be able to afford a “modest” two-bedroom apartment, according to a new report by the National Low Income Housing Coalition and the Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio.

There may be some drawbacks, but increasing Ohio’s minimum wage to $15 an hour would save 4,000 lives and create a $25 billion benefit to the state economy by 2036, according to a study released last month by Scioto Analysis.

A new survey shows 93 percent of Ohio servers and bartenders want to keep the current tipping system with a base wage and tips.

A national study of the pay for youth workers showed Ohio was among the states who allow “pay discrimination” when it comes to employment of young Ohioans.

Ohio’s minimum wage is scheduled to increase on Jan. 1, 2024, to $10.45 per hour for non-tipped employees and $5.25 per hour for tipped employees. The minimum wage will apply to employees of businesses with annual gross receipts of more than $385,000 per year.
