2020-2021 Governor's Budget for Pennsylvania Released
Governor Wolf presented his sixth budget today with a focus on education, supporting workers and the workforce, and reducing gun violence.
Overall, the budget increases spending to $36 billion compared to last year. Governor Wolf also proposed a higher minimum wage (as he did last year), raising the current rate of $7.25/hour to $12/hour by July and then increasing the wage over time until it reaches $15 in 2026. The last time the minimum wage increased in Pennsylvania was when the federal government increased the wage in 2009.
