Protect Oklahoma's Jobs and Small Businesses
Join us in the fight against SQ 832, a proposal that threatens Oklahoma jobs and the livelihood of small businesses.
Understanding SQ 832
Impact on Small Businesses
State Question 832 proposes an increase in Oklahoma’s minimum wage, which will be detrimental to Oklahoma small businesses. This measure may lead to higher operational costs, forcing many local businesses to make tough decisions, including reducing staff or increasing prices.
SQ 832 would impose a $15 an hour minimum wage by 2029 and require escalation every year thereafter, tying it to a national price index. SQ 832 will increase consumers’ cost of living, reduce youth jobs, harm small businesses, and fail to reduce poverty. Read the state question language filing information here.
Why SQ 832 is Harmful
SQ 832 Risks Killing The Very Jobs That Keep People Out Of Poverty
One of the most predictable effects of large, mandated wage increases is reduced employment opportunities—especially for low-wage and entry-level workers.
SQ 832 Would Hit Small Businesses Hard
States that have passed similar legislation have seen small-business survival rates drop and opportunities for young workers shrink.
SQ 832 Copies Policies That Raised Prices Elsewhere
States raising their minimum wages to $15 per hour have, on average, become more expensive at a faster rate than Oklahoma.
