As of October 2023, the minimum wage in Oklahoma is $7.25 per hour, which is the same as the federal minimum wage rate. This rate has not changed since 2008 when it increased from $6.55 to $7.25, an increase of $0.70. However, there are some Oklahoma minimum wage exemptions, such as a lower minimum wage for tipped employees and employees under the age of 20.
It is important to note that effective January 1, 2024, the state minimum wage rate will increase to $15.00 for all employers, regardless of size.
