Fast food workers in California can expect a bit more money in their wallets thanks to new legislation that was approved Thursday, which will raise the minimum wage to $20 per hour.
This new wage increase comes as the minimum wage for all non-fast food workers is already at $15.50 per hour, one of the highest minimum wages in the country. The law also creates a council that can increase this wage every year all the way through 2029 by either 3.5% or the change in averages for the U.S. Consumer Price Index for urban and clerical workers, whichever is less.
The wage increase will go into effect starting April 1 of next year and will apply to all employees who work at restaurants that have at least 60 locations throughout the United States.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINERNewsom's signing of the new fast food law comes after he recently signed a bill adding an 11% excise tax on guns and ammunition in California to fund school safety programs.
