Ohio's minimum wage to increase to $9.30 an hour in 2022
Ohio's minimum will increase from $8.80 to $9.30 per hour for non-tipped employees next year due to inflation.
The minimum wage for tipped employees will increase from $4.40 to $4.65.
The changes take effect Jan. 1, 2022 and apply to employees of businesses with annual gross receipts of more than $342,000 per year.
A 2006 constitutional amendment ties annual increases in the rate to inflation. The Consumer Price Index increased by 5.8% over the 12-month period from Sept. 1, 2020 to Aug. 31, 2021.
Next year's 50-cent increase is the largest single year increase since the amendment raised the rate from $4.25 to $6.85 in 2007.
