Ohio's minimum wage does not reflect the economic value created by low-wage workers and is insufficient to cover the basic cost of living. This report outlines a proposal to raise the minimum wage to $15 by 2026 and eliminate the sub-minimum wage for workers with disabilities. It finds that increasing the minimum wage will strengthen local economies while reducing racial and gender inequality.
