What $20.00 an hour gets you. Laid off or cut in hours worked.
Remember when the nuts went crazy over the fast-food workers in California were going to get a four dollar an hour raise? Guess that was short lived.
“Newsom’s $20 wage has turned out to be nothing more than a boost to his own ego at the expense of fast food workers,” Rebekah Paxton, research director at EPI, told the Washington Examiner. “His consistent claim that the law is a ‘win’ is out of touch with reality, and lawmakers looking to mirror his job-crushing policies should think twice.”
According to EPI’s analysis, California has lost close to 20,000 fast-food jobs since Newsom signed the law. That’s nearly 25% of the country’s fast-food job losses during that same period, according to an analysis of quarterly data released this month from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
