Pennsylvania Senate backs $2 raise in minimum wage
The Pennsylvania Senate backed a $2 increase to the minimum wage next year 36 to 14 in a move mirrored by the House. A small business exemption could slow the rise to $7.15 for employers with 10 or fewer full time workers, drawing criticism from Democrats and labor groups. Governor Rendell faces a choice as July August recess nears.
