Increase Wages and Job Opportunities
Every Ohioan deserves a good-paying job and an opportunity to grow in their careers. Fair wages and more job opportunities are key to building a strong economy that lifts up every community.
Too many families struggle with low pay and limited job options. This hurts families, slows our economy, and holds us back as individuals.
With fair wages, workers can support their families, build strong communities, and drive local economies forward. Employers will benefit, too, with a skilled and reliable workforce that helps Ohio thrive.
Our Budget Priorities
-
Increase funding for wage and hour enforcement to $2.6 million annually.
-
Allocate $100,000–150,000 annually to restore and maintain the Civil Impacts of Criminal Convictions database.
