flag Los Angeles approves major wage hike for hotel and airport workers, despite job losses and slow recovery.

flag The Los Angeles City Council approved a significant wage hike for hotel and airport workers, starting at $22.50 per hour in July, rising to $30 by 2028, plus an $8.35 per hour healthcare benefit starting in 2026. flag However, LA lost 11,000 hotel jobs in 2024, and the city's post-COVID recovery ranks last among major U.S. cities, with only 79% of 2019 visitor levels. flag The new ordinance faces opposition from anti-union groups who warn it could lead to further job losses.
