23 states in the county have raised or have committed to raising their minimum wage to $15 an hour—but Pennsylvania is not one of those states. Our minimum wage is still $7.25, hardly a livable wage.
Raising the minimum wage to $15/hour would significantly impact and uplift working people in the Commonwealth. And here's why we need why:
Higher baseline wages would help uplift thousands of families who currently live below the poverty line
By raising wages we're injecting more money into our economy and communities, boosting local businesses
Low wages in PA significantly impact people of color and women, with disproportionate impacts on women with children
PA's last minimum wage increase was a 10-cent raise in 2008
By signing this form, you'll be standing up for working families and tens of thousands of Pennsylvanians making only $7.25 an hour!
