Gov. Josh Shapiro and other government officials will see their salaries increased by 3.4%. The new raise is due to a state law that delivers automatic raises matching the federal consumer inflation figure for mid-Atlantic urban areas. That percentage increase is about one-third higher than the 2.6% average increase for private-sector employees.

Pennsylvania state lawmakers, judges and top executive branch officials will get a heftier salary increase in 2025 than the average Pennsylvanian saw over the past 12 months.

More than 1,300 Pennsylvania officials — including Gov. Josh Shapiro, all 253 lawmakers and all seven state Supreme Court justices — will get a pay raise of 3.4% in 2025, under a state law that delivers automatic raises that match the federal consumer inflation figure for mid-Atlantic urban areas.

Governor Josh Shapiro announced that he signed seven bills into Pennsylvania law on Monday. The seven bills involve domestic relations and animal abuse, health and safety, vehicle inspections and township provisions.
