Every dollar earned by a worker today is worth a full 51% less than it was in 2006. While the minimum wage in Pennsylvania has remained stagnant for 15 years, the cost of basic necessities like housing, healthcare, childcare, food, and utilities have all risen, making it harder for Pennsylvanians like me to thrive. Since 2014, 32 states and Washington, D.C., have increased their minimum wage, including every state that borders Pennsylvania. It’s time for our state legislature to take action and deliver a living wage for all Pennsylvanians now. That’s why we are demanding that the legislature passes a $15/hr minimum wage that includes an annual increase based on the cost of living and grants local wage control to municipalities to set their own wages. We’ve waited 15 years for a raise, let’s not wait 15 more. Raise the minimum wage now. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-your-state-legislator-raise-the-wage-now
