California’s Fast Food Minimum Wage Continues to Bite Workers, Consumers and Owners – California Globe

californiaglobe.com californiaglobe.com

  • Since the law was signed in September 2023, BLS quarterly data shows California’s fast food industry lost 19,102 jobs (-3.3% loss), including 15,988 fast food jobs lost since the law went into effect in April 2024.
  • California’s fast food job loss rate (-3.3% of jobs lost) more than doubled the losses in fast food restaurants nationally (-1.6% of jobs lost) since September 2023.
  • California’s fast food restaurants accounted for a quarter (25.3%) of all fast food industry job losses in the nation over this period.
  • California’s fast food industry job loss also outpaced total private industry job losses in the state (-1.3% of jobs lost), and represents nearly 10% of all statewide job losses just in fast food over this period.
  • After the implementation of the $20 minimum wage law, an EPI survey found that a majority of restaurants say they had raised menu prices (98%), reduced employee hours (89%), limited employee shift pick-up or overtime opportunities (73%) and reduced staff or consolidated positions (70%) as a result of the minimum wage law.
  • Additionally, a majority of restaurants surveyed said in the next year they will have to raise menu prices (93%), reduce employee hours (87%), reduce staff or consolidate positions (74%), and limit employee shift pick-up or overtime opportunities (71%).
  • An EPI analysis of U.S. minimum wage studies shows a $1 increase in the minimum wage could trigger price increases of up to 5.5%.
  • Studies estimate that a $1 increase in the federal minimum wage could increase the likelihood of robot adoption by up to 11%.
  • Other states are heeding California’s lessons. Rhode Island recently decided to hold on a proposed $20 an hour wage hike, Chicago’s City Council voted to halt a wage hike for restaurant workers. In 2024, Massachusetts voters rejected an $18 an hour minimum wage, and workers and business owners are warning against Mandami’s $30 an hour wage in New York.
 
As the save Trump’s ass act will effect republicans as much or actually more than democrats and will cost states millions while trying to solve a nonexistent problem it appears more of a smokescreen designed to throw the midterms into chaos. Great opportunity to delay, postpone or cancel any pesky, entirely unnecessary elections . . . "in four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good, you're not gonna have to vote." Looks like at least in this case they are ahead of schedule.

"You should research your dumb posts."

The point in question was not voting.

It was registering to vote.

From Google's AI--

Yes, non-citizens with lawful status can obtain a REAL ID if they provide proof of legal presence, such as a Permanent Resident Card, Employment Authorization Document (EAD), or a valid foreign passport with an I-94.

The very first post of your original text stated if I have a real ID can I vote.

They can.

Why do you post crap like that?
