$7.25—that’s PA’s current minimum wage, which hasn’t changed in 15 years and leaves many struggling to get by. Our commonwealth lags far behind neighboring states like New Jersey, New York, Maryland, and most of the country. We must work together to help raise PA’s minimum wage to a living wage, including the tipped wage, with annual adjustments for cost of living and inflation, to build a stronger, more equitable economy.
