Ohioâs minimum wage got a dime-sized bump to start the new year, boosting it from $8.70 to $8.80. Most minimum wage workers likely wonât notice the difference.
The pay hike translates to around $4 extra per week for people who earn a standard minimum wage â and for workers who earn tips, itâs even less. Their $4.35 hourly wage is now $4.40, adding up to an additional $2 for every 40 hours worked.
