The Ohio minimum wage was last changed in 2008, when it was raised $1.30 from $7.00 to $8.30. Ohio's minimum wage rate is linked to a Consumer Price Index, which is intended to raise the rate along with inflation. The current minimum wage rate is re-evaluated yearly based on these values.
As of January, 2015, Georgia and Wyoming have the lowest state minimum wage requirements, according to data from the U.S. Department of Labor. At $5.15 per hour, each state has a minimum wage more than $2.00 below the federal mark of $7.25. However, federal law dictates that the higher of either the state or federal minimum is legally applicable, which means that the enforceable minimum wage in both states is actually $7.25.
