CA lost 10,000 jobs thanks to state’s $20 minimum wage

And your head SHOULD skyrocket with the minimum wage increase.

There was no $18 combo in California. It was a rest stop in CT.

The average price for a Big Mac in the U.S. is $5.35. At the location in Darien, Connecticut, some combo meals top $21.

California fast food restaurants have cut 10,000 jobs thanks to state’s $20 minimum wage: trade

California fast food restaurants have slashed nearly 10,000 jobs because of the state’s new $20 minimum wage as struggling franchises cut labor costs and raise prices to survive, a major trade group said Thursday.

The California Business and Industrial Alliance (CABIA) slammed Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom for pushing through the law, which went into effect April 1 – and was blamed for forcing one beloved taco chain to shutter 48 locations in the state last week.

“California businesses have been under total attack and total assault for years,” CABIA president and founder Tom Manzo told Fox Business.

Elections have consequences as they say.

This number is a randU, but yes...the SDTC has lost a lot of jobs.

Not only due to price controls (the $20 minimum wage), but also due to overregulation (fascism), open crime and filth in the cities (supported by the Democrats), high taxes, and the economic depression brought about by Democrats (including King Newsom), and the tyranny.

This is NOT a defense of Newsom but there is no wanting to be President (outside someone on the Libertarian Party) that is fiscally responsible. You can't get elected that way. (Trump proclaimed we had this most amazing economy yet we still ran $1 trillion deficit, pre-COVID, on his watch.) Americans do not want fiscal resposiblity. Partisans simply don't like when it's the other side doing the spending.

As far the OP, we all saw this coming. It's the trade-off. Those who keep their jobs make more money but overall more jobs are lost (and those that get hurt the most by the increase in wages are the kids and people with less skills as they are less likely to be able to find work).

The President does not have any authority to borrow money. That is CONGRESS (at the time, DEMOCRATS).
The nominee for the Libertarian party is a leftist. He is like a Democrat.

How many times do you need to be told this before it sinks into your small reptilian brain?
The $18 combo that McD was criticized for occurred at a rest stop in Connecticut. It has absolutely nothing to do with California. Clearly you are exactly what Rupurt Murdoch loves about those that religiously swallow the propaganda he spews. They print something that is true but fail to provide all the facts so their stupid readers can jump to stupid conclusions. Congratulations for doing exactly what he wanted you to do, just like the little sheep you are.

Do you know where CT is compared to CA? Do you understand that restaurants at rest stops often charge high prices because most of their customers are travelers that want to get back on the road? It's called capitalism. Something you suddenly seem to be against.

And I still have not been given the location of any McD in CA that has $20 Big Mac combos. I guess it must be because they don't exist and won't for several years.

California has a workforce of about 20 million, so 10,000 in possible job losses would be 0.05%. That is literally a rounding error. It is such a small amount of jobs, that we will never know if their claims are correct.

Tell us exactly where this McD is in LA that can cost $18 for a Big Mac Combo. It's easy to check on the McD app. The funny thing is, you can't provide the location of this mythical McDonalds because it just doesn't exist. The highest price for a Big Mac in the LA area is $6.49 at 6 different locations.
No one is charging $11.50 for fries and a drink.

On Ubereats, the most expensive Big Mac combo is $15.26 in el Monte, CA.

When checking the actual in store price at that McD, it is $11.97 for the Big Mac Combo.

It's funny that it can have that range and yet not a single McDonalds in the LA area charges more than $13.
Math must be really weird in RW MAGA world.

I will ask you again. Find me a single McD in LA that charges more than $13 for a Big Mac combo without supersizing it.

"Joe Erlinger, president of McDonald’s USA, addressed the letter to ...
I can tell you that it frustrates and worries me, and many of our franchisees, when I hear about an $18 Big Mac meal being sold – even if it was at one location in the U.S. out of more than 13,700," Erlinger wrote.

"More worrying, though, is when people believe that this is the rule and not the exception, or when folks start to suggest that the prices of a Big Mac have risen 100% since 2019."

Franchisees own and operate more than 95% of all U.S. restaurants, said Erlinger, meaning menu prices are ultimately up to franchise owners who may raise prices to account for increased business and "inflationary pressures."
