Editor’s note: This is a more in-depth article than the one below with some excellent graphs and charts showing all 67 counties in Pennsylvania and what the impact of raising the minimum wage would mean by county. Well worth the read!
About one in five workers in Lancaster County would benefit from raising the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour, a new study shows.
That 21 percent amounts to 49,099 workers here, according to the Keystone Research Center study.
The research is being cited by a labor and community coalition, Raise the Wage PA, which will hold a rally in Penn Square at noon Thursday.
Lancaster County rates somewhat worse than the statewide figure of 19 percent and the urban-area figure of 18 percent, says the study.
