The total job market is reducing. That means there will be fewer jobs. California already has higher unemployment. So they just created a worse situation for these people. The job market for them keep getting smaller.
With the raising cost of living, the job market is going to shrink, minimum wage increase or not. It just means that the more fortunate need to pay more to those who are less fortunate if they want to employ someone.
The market obviously can’t regulate itself correctly and needs a little nudge if someone can’t make a living wage from a full-time job.

They were living before and now they have no money. The market was working fine.

Your belief in a fair market has you blaming all the wrong people for all the wrong things.

Wages are set by supply and demand. I blame the correct person in this situation. The California government

You stand alone in your argument sir.

No, the workers blame the government as well. The government is the one who took their jobs away.
