HARRISBURG, Pa., Dec. 22, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Next year, Governor-elect Tom Corbett and Pennsylvania's incoming legislature should do what seven other states will be doing on January 1 -- increasing the minimum wage to keep pace with inflation. The planned increases -- automatic inflation-based adjustments ranging from 9 to 12 cents -- will modestly boost the incomes of approximately 647,000 minimum-wage workers in Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont and Washington.

DAYTON -- For employees like Brenda Harrison of Dayton, who makes $8 an hour as a crew leader for a downtown fastfood restaurant, the increase in the minimum wage in Ohio from $5.15 to $6.85 an hour could be good news or bad news.
