A month after most California fast food workers started earning at least $20 an hour, economists say it’s too early to determine industry impact. While some workers report improved quality of life, others see cuts in work hours and less income as employers adjust to more expensive payroll.

I’m glad this was passed. Only worry I have is that the the corporations will have the money to take a hit in California. Keep the amount of money they siphon from CA high, translating to higher costs to the CA businesses and, despite the fact that more of their businesses will struggle, use that as evidence that this law should be repealed.

    The article has stated some workers have had their hours cut such that they’re making less. I dont think we can say the current impact will stay the same. Hopefully, yes workers will be making more in general, but it seems like now restaurants, customers and workers are trying to adjust to the new changes.
