Pennsylvania hasn’t increased its minimum wage since 2009, even though Washington, D.C., and 29 other states — including all our neighboring states — have. That means that the paychecks many minimum wage earners take home just aren’t enough to make ends meet.
The reason this is a top priority for PSEA is simple. No one who earns an hourly wage should need to struggle to make ends meet. And the best way to explain this to lawmakers is to tell the stories of real people who have real financial struggles because Pennsylvania’s minimum wage is too low.
