Comment on California Loses Nearly 10,000 Fast-Food Jobs After $20 Minimum Wage Signed Last Fall
Bongo_Stryker@lemmy.ca 5 months agoThat happened the same day the new minimum wage law took effect, raising pay for fast food workers to $20 an hour from $4.
Thats where I got the $4 from. It wasn’t clear me it was a 4 dollar raise. I admit I may have had a poor reading comprehension moment there, but in my defence I have a concussion and my eyes are a bit blurry, also I am trying to avoid my wife catching me on the internet, since she thinks I should be resting in a dark room.

They were at 16 and went to 20.
Hey I get the blurry eyes. I wake up with dry eyes. Sometimes I end up writing gibberish because of it. It looks fine to to me until I review it later.
The issue is the speed of the raises and inflation. Customers won’t absorb higher prices.
