Populist stunts might be good to drive voter support, but they’re no different than DeSantis’ mock outrage over woke companies.
It's $15.50 per hour, higher than every state besides Washington , and the District of Columbia . In California, that rate applies to all workers while previous minimum wage rules in that state had exceptions for companies below a certain size.Now, California Gov. Gavin Newsom has decided that fast-food companies should pay more than that.
The new law has no exceptions aside from the size of the businesses involved. A 14-year-old working at Wendy's a few hours a week would get $20 per hour while the same minor working at Target, Walmart, or other large chains could be paid $15,50 per hour .Just like DeSantis has scared some businesses away from expanding operations in Florida, Newsom is doing the same in California.
The new rules are also selective. Regular restaurants aren't impacted nor is Panera Bread, which is classified as a bakery and not a restaurant.
