16,000 to 18,000 fast food workers lost out in CA

The California Job-Killer That Wasn’t

The state raised the minimum wage for fast-food workers—and employment kept rising. So why has the law been proclaimed a failure?

Since minimum wage is not liveable, many minimum wage jobs are taken by teenagers, rather than heads of households.

Anyone who works with teenagers knows that having a job increases their self-esteem, especially those who don't excell in academics, sports, or other school-based activities. At work, they feel needed, valued - yes, even at minimum wage, they are valued - and held to high standards that they are able to meet.

They learn the value of work on a team, and the importance of "making a hundred" in every task, not settling for 70%. They are thus more likely to become successful adults after learning a skilled trade. Or they realize that more education means more money, and they begin to excell academically, and become engineers, accountants, or other jobs in which the title of the major is the title of the occupation.

Such teenagers are not likely to grow up and vote Democrat, which is another reason Democrats oppose entry-level jobs.

Only a tiny percentage of Americans who start out at minimum wage stay at minimum wage. Those who do are usually happy with that minimum wage.

Because my husband was transferred a lot early in our marriage and we had agreed he would be the primary bread winner, I was the one to start over in each new town. That sometimes meant starting at or near minimum wage to get my foot in the door. I never stayed there for long or if there was no way to improve my situation, I used that job as a catalyst to get a better one. Within a few months or so I always was back to a decent wage.

My story is legion among most American workers. Minimum wage was NEVER intended to be a living wage. It was intended to be a training wage, a beginning wage. It ended the unethical practice of apprenticeship in which employers would allow a person to work for free to learn a trade but never ever paid that person.

But very very few people starting at minimum wage stay there for long.

Twenty bucks an hour is a great wage to flip burgers---until you don't have a job because it is a ridiculous wage for flipping burgers.

Sacramento, CA – Despite fears that increasing the minimum wage for fast food workers would be detrimental to the economy, a study by UC Berkeley economists found that raising the minimum wage increased incomes for workers, with no job cuts and food prices remaining largely stable.

The new study published by UC Berkeley’s Institute for Research and Labor Employment confirmed that California’s $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers has led to significant benefits for workers, without the devastating consequences that critics predicted. The study found that while wages have risen substantially, there has been no reduction in employment in the fast-food sector.

So you want slave labor.

You fight for illegals to come into the country and bring down wages.

Your faux giving a shit is noted.

So you’re mad at employers for paying slave wages to illegals but you’re fine with employers paying slave wages to Americans.
