The Department of Labor table revised July 1, 2026 says employers covered by the FLSA must pay the federal minimum wage of $7.25; Pennsylvania is listed among jurisdictions equal to the federal minimum wage.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): As of the latest official DOL minimum-wage table found in the lookback search, neither the federal minimum wage nor Pennsylvania's baseline minimum wage had become a living wage standard. This weighs against delivered status for Evans' promise to establish a living wage.

The promised outcome was to establish a living wage. The federal minimum wage remains $7.25, and Pennsylvania's baseline minimum wage is still equal to the federal floor, so the outcome has not been established. Evans did take concrete legislative action by cosponsoring the Raise the Wage Act of 2025, which would raise and index the federal minimum wage, but it remains only introduced and did not deliver the promised policy.
