It is long past time to raise Pennsylvania s minimum wage and pay every worker a living wage, said acting Secretary Berrier. Raising the minimum wage to $12 an hour with a clear path to $15 an hour for all workers will significantly benefit women, persons of color, and workers in for-profit sectors like Luis Borja struggling to afford basic necessities with poverty wages.

For the eighth straight month, the number of jobs in Lancaster County last month remained mired in a rut that was dug by the pandemic, new data shows.
The 245,300 jobs here were essentially unchanged from Februaryâs 245,200, according to the state Department of Labor & Industry. That in turn helped keep the unemployment rate flat at 5.8% in March as well, the department said Tuesday.
Before the pandemic, Lancaster Countyâs labor market was exceptionally strong and steady. The county had 261,500 jobs in the beginning of March 2020, the typical level here for years. Then COVID-19 arrived in the middle of that month, prompting Gov. Tom Wolf to shut down many employers â or at least their facilities to limit the spread of the virus.
