Lawmakers, workers plan to keep pushing for Pennsylvania to raise the minimum wage

Pennsylvania lawmakers and workers continue advocating for a minimum wage increase, which has remained at $7.25 since 2009. State Sen. Christine Tartaglione highlighted 20 years of inaction, while caregivers like Lynn Weidner face financial struggles despite recent partial funding boosts. Over 43,000 workers earn $7.25 or less, and 510,000 make below the state's average living wage of $22.
