Ohio’s minimum wage increased to $10.70 per hour for non-tipped employees and $5.35 per hour for tipped employees on Jan. 1, according to the Ohio Department of Commerce.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement. This was an automatic adjustment due to a constitutional amendment passed by voters in 2006.This is a slight bump compared to 2024 when minimum wage for non-tipped employees was $10.45 per hour and $5.25 per hour for tipped employees.The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour.
One Fair Wage, a national organization, tried to get minimum wage on the ballot in Ohio this past election, but they failed to submit the necessary signatures to the Ohio Secretary of State to get their initiative on the ballot.The initiative would have increased minimum wage up to $15 per hour in 2026 and nixed Ohio’s tipped wage.Upping Ohio’s minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2026 would have helped nearly 1 million Ohioans — about a fifth of Ohio’s workforce, according to Policy Matters Ohio.
