California healthcare workers will see at least $25 an hour starting in 2026 after Gov. Newsom signed a bill mandating an industry minimum wage.
Many California healthcare workers — from nursing assistants and medical coders to cleaners and security guards — will see at least $25 an hour starting in 2026, after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill on Friday that mandates an industry minimum wage statewide. The first-in-the-nation legislation was backed by unions who said more pay is necessary to stem the state's healthcare worker shortage and improve patient care, pointing to burnout exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Newsom also recently approved a wage hike for fast food workers at large chains to $20 per hour. California's standard minimum wage is $15.50 per hour. But the liberal governor — who also approved more paid sick time off for all workers — has been criticized by other recent vetoes of labor rights legislation, including a bill that would've given striking workers unemployment benefits and a bill to grant domestic workers OSHA protections.
