Wolf says Pennsylvania can address labor shortage with safer, better paying jobs

To address Pennsylvania’s labor shortage, Gov. Tom Wolf signed an executive order Thursday that his administration says will make workplaces safer, guarantee paid leave and increase wages. Wolf says the lack of workers and the abundance of available open positions are interrelated. The problem isn’t necessarily a shortage of workers, but more specifically not enough workers willing to perform the same jobs under the same working conditions and wages that existed prior to the pandemic.
