Summary
Pennsylvania’s minimum wage, stuck at $7.25 since 2006, faces a potential boost with House Bill 2189—now stalled in the Senate. Supporters push for phased hikes to $15 by 2029, citing economic benefits and lagging states like New York and West Virginia. But Senate Republicans cite a fiscal report warning of job losses, higher prices, and small business strain, refusing to bring the bill to a vote. Lawmakers backing the wage increase are calling out Senate leadership for keeping workers stuck, while the bill remains in limbo with no immediate path forward.
