The article reports that Ohio’s minimum wage is increasing by 30 cents to $11 per hour starting January 1, 2025, in response to rising inflation. This raise applies to non-tipped workers employed by businesses wiht annual gross receipts exceeding 5<\/a>,000 (up from $394,000). For tipped workers, the minimum wage will rise to $5.50 per hour. Smaller businesses that do not meet the revenue threshold will continue to follow the federal minimum wage<\/a> of $7.25.<\/p>\n

The increase follows a 2.8% rise in the Consumer Price index between september 2024 and August 2025. Ohio voters approved a constitutional amendment in 2006 that automatically links minimum wage adjustments to inflation,resulting in 18 increases as then. The largest inflation-based increase was in 2023, at 8.7%. Steve Stivers, CEO of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, supports this indexing approach, stating it offers predictability for workers and employers and avoids sudden, large wage hikes that could harm small businesses and job growth.<\/p>\n

A recent citizen-led initiative to raise Ohio’s minimum wage to $15 by 2026 did not gather enough signatures to qualify for the ballot.
