Governor Shapiro Pitches $15 Minimum Wage During Budget Address
(Harrisburg, PA) -- Governor Josh Shapiro is pitching a major wage hike for Pennsylvania's lowest-paid workers. The governor drew a standing ovation when he suggested a 15-dollar state minimum wage during his budget address yesterday. Pennsylvania's minimum wage has remained at seven-25 an hour for the last 15 years. Shapiro calls that pay rate "anticompetitive", adding that he believes it is hurting the state's workers.
