Reader Poll: Should the Minimum Wage Be Raised?
The federal minimum wage is currently set at $7.25 per hour.
Pennsylvania is one of only fourteen states that have the same minimum wage as the national rate.
If Governor Wolf has his way, however, the floor will be set at $10.15 per hour. That’s the minimum wage he set for federal employees under his latest executive order.
According to the Wolf Administration’s estimates, if the state legislature raised the rate to that level it would bring $60 billion more in annual revenues and benefit 1.2 million Pennsylvanians.
