Because Ohio’s minimum wage is part of the Ohio Constitution (and cannot be easily amended) and contains a provision for automatic increases in the minimum wage tied to the annual Consumer Price Index as of September 30, the Ohio Department of Commerce has announced that the minimum wage will increase to $7.30 on January 1 based on the CPI as of Tuesday, September 30, 2008. The minimum wage for tipped employees will increase to $3.65/hour.
Insomniacs can read the full announcement (along with how it will affect youth wages) at http://www.com.ohio.gov/laws/docs/laws_2009MinimumWage.pdf.
