The American Community Survey measures poverty rates across major cities. It found that roughly one-third to three quarters of Philadelphian workers earned $7.25 an hr or less in 2018. This percentage is higher among Hispanics and others. One-third of the workers had less than 24 years of age and didn't have a college education. Philadelphia's minimum wage earners were young adults. These figures are not necessarily accurate as some workers were not included in the minimum wage law.

Philadelphia's law on health care does not require employers that they ask for a physician's note each time an employee is sick.

Employers could be faced with a difficult situation. Before making any final decision about whether the law applies, employers may want to consult with an employment attorney.
