The minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 in Pennsylvania since 2009 and President Joe Biden wants to more than double it.
Biden recently signed an executive order to promote a $15 minimum wage for federal workers and contractors. His push to raise it to $15 for everyone in the U.S. is drawing mixed reaction.
Advocates like Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf have pushed for a higher minimum wage for years and say itâs long overdue to bring people out of poverty.
Critics like Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry officials, however, argue raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour would slow economic recovery in a pandemic and lead to increased labor costs and job losses.
