Ohio's economy is below the average. The unemployment rate is above the average. Raising the minimum wage is a "Tax" on businesses and a transfer of funds to low income people usually first time workers and teenagers. It is unattractive for businesses to want to invest in Ohio. Business owners try to keep margins so they will not hire and expect more output from there employees creating hire unemployment and removes future jobs. Businesses also will raise prices to compensate for this additional "tax" which raises the CPI so it is and endless cycle. This is why Ohio has constantly raised the minimum wage over the past years. Watch...the unemployment rate will increase, investment from businesses will decrease and the problem will worsen. I am an economist who also happens to run a multimillion dollar franchise with locations in both Ohio and PA and have studied this intensively. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR POLICY MAKERS AND TELL THEM THEY ARE DESTROYING THE STATE. I was going to open 4 more locations this year in Ohio and created over 100 new jobs. I will now be shifting all the locations to PA and the jobs as well. Get educated and get informed. This is the problem! Ohio’s economy is below the average.
