Recently California raised it's minimum wage for fast food employees to $20/hr from $16/hr previously. While it is a limited group of businesses directly affected, the ripple effect will impact other businesses in the state and across the nation.
This isn't the first time California has made laws to try to increase employee wages. Earlier this year the state passed AB5, also called the Gig Worker's Law, an effort to raise gig wages. It had the opposite effect by negatively impacting over 600 professions and 4.5 million self-employed workers. Expect to see changes elsewhere. Just the other day, a restaurant added a labor fee to customers' bills to combat rising costs, and a Birds Eye factory in Wisconsin is closing to consolidate production to facilities to factories that are automated in order to eliminate labor costs.
We will talk about the good and bad that comes with increased wages as well as share our insights to government involvement in employee pay.
