The current minimum wage simply is not supporting Ohio's working families.

Thousands of Ohio families are going deeper and deeper in debt just trying to pay their heating bills, fill prescriptions, and buy groceries. The current minimum wage is simply not enough.

Raising the minimum wage means raising the living wage - and that's good news for Ohio.

Ohio is one of only two states that have a minimum wage below the federal level of $5.15 an hour.

The minimum wage can play a vital role in lifting hard-working families above the poverty line.

Anyone who's tried to pay a heating bill, fill a prescription, or simply buy groceries knows all too well that the current minimum wage does not cut the mustard.
