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

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.

Did they conduct that "research" using federal tax dollars?

Ill pick it apart when i have more time.

Sure, ask those 18K - 20K workers who are out of work how devastating it has been to their lives. SMH--"bbbbut, bbbbut Berkeley says...
 
The burger flippers are still there. It's the cashiers who have been replaced by the kiosks.

I thought In-N-Out had it figured out out west. A large staff of young kids (age 14-18?) In full clean uniform, smiling, polite, nice, apparently fast and smart. They learned how to show up, dress up, talk, work around others. Compared to a BK crew, night and day.

But then CA GOVT stepped in?
And In n Out left CA.
 
So you think teenagers should be slaves so that corporations can pad their stock price.
So you support bringing in brown people to be slaves so that corporations can pad their stock price.

The reality of any workforce is that there is a learning curve AND a maximum value to the work performed. Low paying jobs of this type have always been the bottom rung on the ladder where the teen learns a work ethic and basic skills. The value is based on the intelligence necessary to perform the work. When the employee exceeds those, they move on to more lucrative employment. That is why there are different wage levels for different skills. It is common sense for all but ignorant commies.
 
You guys are funny. California has had more growth in the labor market than anywhere while adding jobs at a rate that keeps it at par in the nation. They are such a big part of the GDP that their growth rate is the growth rate.

Gee, that sure explains why California is tied for second place in highest unemployment rate.

Unemployment Rates for States
In case you need help with the math. MORE people entered the labor market in California than anywhere in the country. That is the denominator. The numerator grew at par with the nation. Use chatgpt if that is confusing.

From the OP's link.

Now, 16,000 fast food jobs have been lost and fast food prices are up more than 14.5%.

This is not a prediction. These are FACTS. There are 16K workers who are without work and fast food prices are up 14.5%. Please keep up or read the links. SMH.

Alrighty, so we're just ignoring the unemployment rate?

I see the problem now. Instead of reading the facts that you were presented, you resorted to ARTIFICIAL intelligence to formulate your inept response. GIGO, artificial intelligence is only as good as the parameters that were established by the creator and as you can see, that can vary as much as the myriad views that are shown on this board.

One would think those same factors would apply to ALL states, but we know....you're special.
 
Ole Gavin putting his "street" sense to work and turn it into "gutter" sense. And imagine that, many warned him.
Some of you want this clown to run for President?

By the time California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law the $20 minimum wage for fast food workers, he had been warned by many that it would be devastating for the industry, but he did it anyway. Now, 16,000 fast food jobs have been lost and fast food prices are up more than 14.5%. And here is why: the $20 minimum wage harms California’s least skilled and least experienced workers, as they are no more productive, but are significantly more expensive, and results in harms the business owners as well.

Worked according to plan! Exactly!

Instead of working, they'll depend on government!
 
So you want slave labor.
It's just Kalipornia Dimocrats vote-whoring and preparing the way for REAL Americans to swoop-in and grab all those "Shadow $7.95/hr" jobs that Illegal Aliens are quickly vacating...
