Still not nearly enough
$25/hr would be correct for one of the top 10 richest nations on the globe. And tax the rich!
I don’t know why we don’t just peg minimum wage to inflation or county cost of living metrics. Fighting over this every few years is dumb.
Since 2023, it is tied to the CPI-W in California. Other blue states are stating to do the same
It makes pushes to raise it further like this a bit more meaningful in the long run too
Same reason why there’s a flight over the debt ceiling every few months. Hawks want the fight so they throw the economy into turmoil to get it their way.
At the state or city level though?
Hope the wage gets raised to that.

Still not a livable wage. Get back to us when it is, otherwise it’s election pandering.
Though California minimum wage is tied to inflation now (since 2023) so it’d be able to be built upon without losing ground in the meantime
They are still about $18hr off the mark. Starting with such a disparaging margin they will never have a livable wage
