Most people agree, and they are correct, the minimum wage in Ohio needs to be higher

The minimum wage staying at $7.25 since 2009 is ridiculous...nobody can live off that anywhere in the United States. It needs a major increase, and continue to increase every year. #RaiseTheMinimumWage

Getting rid of subminimum wage in Chicago is great news! This move allows for a better living wage for working-class employees that need it.
Nobody can live a healthy life on Ohio's minimum wage at $10.10/hour. Nine cities in Ohio have over 50% of children living in poverty. Fix this by raising the wage.

Minimum wage in Ohio and nationwide needs to increase significantly. It will result in a better economy and less homelessness nationwide. #MinimumW

$7.25 is not anywhere near a livable wage. Raise the federal #MinimumWage to a reasonable amount, in the long run it will help the U.S. economy and businesses.

This is overdue! Raise minimum wage to humane levels to at least cover food, shelter, and medical bills. #MinimumWage

"wages are falling behind while everything else increases in cost. It is only logical that the minimum wage should follow the trend and be adjusted for inflation."....exactly, this is a no-brainer

Ohio's minimum wage isn't cutting it

You must also consider the consequences. Raising minimum wage too much and too fast might inadvertently hurt small businesses. They might not be able to afford the higher wages and as a result, may either lay off people or increase their prices. It's a complex issue that deserves careful consideration.

It's high time companies step up and pay their employees a fair wage. The tipping culture has indeed spiraled out of control. It's not about being stingy, but about fairness and dignity of work. Workers shouldn't have to rely on the generosity of strangers to make ends meet.

Chicago is setting a stellar example! Everyone deserves a livable wage for their hard work. Hopefully, this will inspire other cities to do the same and improve the lives of their citizens. Kudos, Windy City!

Good on Chicago! It's about time folks get paid a fair wage for their hard work. This will certainly make a difference in the lives of many. Let's hope other cities follow suit.

Raising the minimum wage won't fix poverty; it will only lead to job loss.

Increasing the minimum wage in Ohio and nationwide is crucial for economic growth and reducing homelessness. This move would provide fairer wages for workers and increase their purchasing power, resulting in a boost for local businesses. It's time to prioritize uplifting the working class and creating a more equitable society for all. #RaiseTheMinimumWage

I completely agree with you. It's clear that the current minimum wage falls short in meeting the basic needs for many hardworking individuals and families. By raising the federal minimum wage to a more reasonable level, we can provide better financial stability and uplift those who are struggling to make ends meet. Contrary to popular belief, this move will actually benefit the economy and businesses in the long run. When workers are fairly compensated, their increased purchasing power can stimulate demand, leading to business growth and job creation. It's time we prioritize the well-being of our workforce, fostering a more inclusive and prosperous economy for all.
