Rendell Signs Minimum Wage Hike

Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell signed Pennsylvania Senate Bill 1090 on Sunday, which will increase the state minimum wage by $2 per hour.

The minimum wage will increase to $6.25 per hour on Jan. 1, 2007, then to $7.15 per hour on July 1, 2007.

Employers with the equivalent of 10 or fewer full-time employees can phase in the increase on a slower schedule. They will pay $5.65 an hour beginning Jan. 1, 2007; $6.65 beginning July 1, 2007; and $7.15 on July 1, 2008.

Pennsylvania is among the 22 states that approved an increase in its minimum wage since Congress last raised the federal minimum wage to $5.15 in 1997.
