California enacted a $20/hour minimum wage for fast-food workers, surpassing the statewide increase to $16.
California introduced a $20/hour minimum wage specifically for fast-food workers on April 1, the first state-level fast-food minimum in the US. This exceeds the statewide minimum wage increase of $16, implemented in January. The legislation acknowledges many fast-food workers are adults supporting families rather than teenagers earning pocket money, but may lead to increased prices for consumers.
