The report I heard on NPR this morning stated how Pennsylvania was above the national average by 20 cents more an hour, touting that as fucking accomplishment. Asswipes.

thats $416 more dollars per year if you work 40 hours a week for 52 weeks. you cant even buy a playstation 3 for that.

Or keep up with the cost of gas to get to work, especially in most cities in PA that have shitty public transportation and thus require owning a vehicle to get to work (and not let's forget how much rural land there is in PA too).
