Most fast food workers in California will now make at least $20 an hour thanks to a major minimum wage increase. www.usatoday.com/story/money/2024/03/31/california-fast-food-minimum-wage/73136786007/
Quick Glance: California: New Minimum Wage Impact on Fast Food Industry
  • Most fast food workers in California will earn at least $20 per hour starting Monday, providing more financial stability to the profession and potentially raising prices in the high-cost state.

  • The law was supported by the fast food franchise owners' trade association. However, many owners have expressed concerns about the law's impact on their businesses amid California's economic slowdown.

  • California has doubled its minimum wage to $16 per hour over the last decade, with data showing increased wages and sustained employment levels.

  • The law represents a negotiated compromise between the fast food industry and labor unions, applying to restaurants with limited table service and part of a national chain with at least 60 establishments.
