Pennsylvania min wage push faces uncertain fate in legislature

Wolf pressed for $15 an hour, arguing it would raise wages for about 2 million workers, 61 percent of them women, while noting Pennsylvania still uses the $7.25 federal minimum since 2009. Nearby states have higher wages, but lawmakers say the increase is too drastic and have offered no clear alternative.
