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.

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.
