(Harrisburg, PA) According to a Facebook post yesterday from the Office of the Governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, the Pennsylvania House just advanced a bill to finally raise the minimum wage in the state to $15 an hour. This happened in Harrisburg not too long after Shapiro’s 2026-2027 budget address on Tuesday. Shapiro called on both parties and both houses yesterday to get that done and to put a bill regarding minimum wage on his desk. The office of Shapiro also noted in the aforementioned post that the Senate of Pennsylvania should follow the lead of the House regarding this development.
