      Same with Pennsylvania. But I dont know of any jobs that pay that little, nor do I know of anybody that would work a job at that rate. However, i believe it creates psychological leverage benefitting employers holding wages low: “I know we pay $10.25 per hour, but that’s $3 above minimum wage! We pay really well.”
