COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio's lowest paid workers won't be up for a raise next year.

The Ohio Department of Commerce says the state minimum wage will see no change in 2010 because consumer prices have declined slightly in the last year. Any increases in the minimum wage are tied to rises in inflation.

The current state minimum is $7.30 an hour for most workers, though employees at smaller companies and 14- and 15-year-olds may receive $7.25 per hour, and workers who get tips may be paid a base minimum of $3.65 an hour.
