A new study out this Labor Day weekend shows that hourly wages not only fell in Ohio from 2000 to 2010 – but dropped more than in any other state.
Workers who earned a median $16.02 an hour in 2000 made just $15.16 in 2010, according to Census numbers adjusted for inflation and analyzed by the Policy Natters Ohio Economic Policy institute.
Ohio is one of 10 states where wages fell over the decade, the annual reports finds.
