i dont think it will make a big diffeerence. in my family i dont think its going to really change anything but for me i will be making more money cause i make minimum wage were i work so it will go up for me.

it will help by increasing the employees wages, but the employers have to pay up more to there workers.

This really won't make a difference in my family because my father is retired. Nobody in my house hold works and I don't work. But i hope it helps other families.

I think this new law will help many families in Ohio. Although, it won't effect my mom and I. But I hope that because the minimum wages are increasing, employers will still hire as many people as possible.

I dont really think it will effect my household but i will be making more money at my work because i make minimum wage.

jamiehelms3 said...

I will making more money because i'm going to college but for right now i making minimum wages. so nothing going to change for me right now.

this wont really make a difference in my family because i dont have a job and my mom doesnt have a job but i think it will be good for some families.

I think that this will help because even though it is only a 30 cent raise it will help for a bigger paycheck and help families who only have min wage jobs. This will help me because I will be getting a 30 cent raise and will be making more money.This won't really effect my household too much because my mom is a nurse so she already makes min wage so it won't effect her income just mine.

i think it will help me out a lot because i would make more money then i make now.

stephanieparker3 said...

This really won't make a big difference with my parents because they both make over minimum wage but this will help me because that would be and extra 30 cents an hour so my paychecks would be more which would be nice.

beckylykins said...

I think it could go both ways. It could help because it would give you more money. Also it might not make a difference because prices of everything is going up so you spend more of your money.

marykatew4 said...

I think it will help. A few cents raise can make all the difference on your paychecks if you work a lot of hours. It would help me and my household by me making more money and being able to contribute more.

christina.c4 said...

i think it will make a little diff but not much but watever the raise it good because people get more money and in turn they may spend more.

I think by increasing the minimum wage that it will help a lot of families out. Even though that it is only a little bit it can still help pay for gas from going back and forth to work each day.

Andrew Gentry4 said...

Minimum wage is not going to affect me or my family. Because we get paper. I have a job which i get paid over the minimum wage rate. So does my guardians.

Ceara Barker5 said...

I think it would be a good change I would make more money.

Tiara Coldiron 5 said...

I think that it would be good for other families but in mine no because me or my mom doesn't work. but on the employees they will have to pay more to their workers

marquise5 said...

MInimum wage in ohio is very bad because there are factories around and most cant get those types of jobs. I dont think that is eally helping me tho.

aquilese4 said...

Employees wages are increasing.Even though that it is only a little bit it can still help pay for gas from going back and forth to work each day.

Jaiden Ballard#5 said...

i think its not a big difference because what is .30 cent more? but then again i've never had an actual job so to others it may be diff. i work for my dad M&M towing for free, i work to keep my car but i also have to make good grades . true story

mknight5 said...

every cent counts to me, so it will help me and make my paychecks a little more. the same with my dad. but it wont be a big change but it will a little.

danielleg5 said...

I think by increasing the minimum wage that it will help a lot of families. if they work.

Kiara Williams P.5(KNOWSHECUTE_xo) said...

It will make a huge difference! Working for 7.40 an hour is bs. but making that extra will be more money in your pocket, think about it. 40 plus 40 is 80 so when you wrok for two hours you get $14.80 but working for 7.70 for two hours your getting $15.40 major difference . thats a whole .60 cent more double of what there adding! OH YEAH (:

brooke wolfe5 said...

.30 cents isn't much, but it could help with every paycheck if you work a lot of hours, your paychecks will be increasing by some. It could help some families out if they are only making minimum wage &n if they work a lot of hours then they will get even bigger checks to help out the entire house hold. Although it isn't much, .30 cents could maybe go a long way.

AntonioW5th said...

I think that the increase in minimum wage is a good decision. I also believe that this will help me and my household because we will be able to provide more money to our mothers/fathers which can help them with their bills.

"We ain't payin nothin'" haha

James Pierson 5 said...

It won't effect me until I get a job. Mama, just kicked a man. Put my foot up to his head, he tasted the rubber tread. Mom, life it's just begun, but now I've gone and thrown it all away. Mom, oh, I didn't mean to make you cry. Sometimes I wish I'd never been born at all. So no it won't really matter, anyone can see, nothing really matters. Nothing really matters to me.

taylormorgan66 said...

im not sure if this law will help me or not. but i think its bad cause that just means our value of money is going down

Taylor Williamson6 said...

It won't change much for my Dad, but it will change for my step Mom, she only gets Minimum wage, and my eldest step brother. He makes minimum wage also.

Kelley Mae 6 said...

I think it may help you. Just because a few cents can make a difference. In my family it wouldn't really make a difference. The job I have now, I don't even get minimum wage. So I really don't care.

DENARIUS DEAN6 said...

it will help us whet the money how we can go about thing

Anonymous said...

i dont think it would make a big difference minimun wage will go up that will help i think everythin is fine

LanceJohnson6 said...

I think this new law will help many families in Ohio. It will help by increasing the employees wages, it will also help because people will make more then what they make now.

donaldcrew6 said...

It could be good and bad because it can help and hurt america. It would help because people would be able to make more money for their families and other things. It would hurt because it would put america in debt

Dineesia Mack 6 said...

Honestly it really doesnt make any difference for me because we all usually make minimum wage if we work or our parents works

soniajuarez6 said...

i dont think is going to make any difference in my family because even though the minimum wage is increasing my parents will still want to save money and still not going to get me everything i ask for.

chelseadanielle13 said...

it wont really effect us, i dont work , but hopefully it will help another family

logana5th said...

I think it will be helpful for young people trying to make a living but employers will probably hours to keep cost down. It won't effect my family

a.hatton3 said...

if you increase thier wages it will increase taxes so it will have a bad effect in the long run.

Pat Pat Hill 5 said...

in my opinion it wont make that much of a difference to small paychecks, but for bigger paychecks it will make small difference .

Austen Moore #5 said...

I think minimum wage is good. It allows us young people to actually experience how the real world is going to be like. I really do believe that minimum wage is pretty good to have.. They should just raise it to $8, instead of having it to $7.40

wyattc27 said...

yes this is nice because the people get an increase in their wages and get to make more money, this wont help my family because they get social security and disabillity but i think this is a really nice jesture to the economy.

Plewis said...

it will help me because i where i work i get paid minimum wage and it would put more money in my pocket , for my family it would help a lot and we would have gas money and all types of stuff shop way more

todjnemilton1 said...

i think that it will help a lot because the minimum wage will go up so much and checks will be higher like you do a lot of work but barely get paid and i totally disagree because they should be paying people way more then they do.

latrelldavis2 said...

its not going to affect me or my family right now because my dad makes way over minimum wage. but onc i get back to working it will affect me. its way better then 7.50 so its dont affect me now but it wil.

khalil sloan3 said...

I think minimum wage is bs and i am never working for anybody unless they have at least 17 dollars an hour for me and i wont take a dollar less, my plan is to takeover my dads business and get maximum wage so i really dont have to worry about minimum wage......basegod

i dont think it will not make difference to me i will get payed more.

Austin.Reece6 said...

honestly it is not gonna help at all. The whole reason minimum wage goes at all is cause all other prices go up. So here is whats gonna happen. Minimum wage will go up. People make a little bit more money. therefore prices will go up...again and we will be right back in the boat that we are in now. Then eventually we will do this same process all over again.

johnna said...

this will help some people i know and thats good because thats what they need especially if they just getting minimum wage

Brian Moyer 5 said...

It's a double-edge sword. While it helps those who make minimum wage, it hurts everyone else who cannot get a job because employers do not want to hire more people to make minimum wage.

JustinHall2 said...

i think it would prolly help if the employers would raise their employees wages and they'll prolly get more effort out of them

daiquanewhite4 said...

i believe that it would be better if the minimum wage was higher. it would be better because if it was higher then there would be a lot more thing bought, especially if there are a lot of young people working

I think that an increase in Minimum wage could be helpful, money is money and it can go a long way. I do notice when I go to Fast Food places they are very busy lately. Probably because people are either too lazy to go out to dinner or they just can't afford it.

Beth Cornele said...

I don't think it will effect my family or anyone else very much at all.

ahamilton513@gmail.com said...

it wont really make a diffrence other than we get a few extra dollars

DENARIUS DEAN6 said...

It will help us have more job out three that you and me will all was have if we need it

TylerThaCreator said...

i think this will help out alot of people, even though its only like 30 cents more it still all adds up, and even a couple bucks extra helps out.

DylanDunn6 said...

minimum wage will kinda help me out because where i work i close at night so i get the hours im suppose to work plus around 20-30 minutes extra each night to close the store which at the end of the week adds up to another hour or two. it'll make my check a little bit better especially when taxes are taken out of my little checks now and i try to pay all my expenses myself so the extra money would help me out.

JuliusWilliams6 said...

I really don't think that minimum wage will change anybodies household but it will change for the people who already make minimum wage because their pay will go up.

TShields5 said...

I think the new minimum wage will change some families but not all.

Djook said...

I work for minimum wage so it'll go up for me my family doesn't so it shouldn't change for them. I'm glad minimum wage is going up.

QuaySHAUN JOHNSON said...

i think it will be helping families that need that little bit more money coming in but it won't effect my household though
