Did California’s $20 fast food minimum wage immediately cost the state jobs and lead to massive price hikes when it went into effect? Critics predicted it would. A new study from the UC Berkeley Center on Wage and Employment Dynamics says it didn’t. msn.com/en-us/money/careersa…
Michael Reich on the impacts a higher #minimumwage: “People would stop going to McDonald’s at $50/hr. But I don’t see those adverse effects at $17. It would have a minimal effect on jobs, a small increase on prices and a lot of benefits.” via @MattEganCNN cnn.com/2024/10/22/economy/m…

"After months of delays, the mandated min wage increase, the 1st in the US to target the health care industry, aims to alleviate workforce shortages & improve patient care. The raises could help recruit and retain workers in often tough, frontline jobs." kqed.org/news/12009797/calif…

Our new working paper with Michael Reich @IRLEUCB is out!
"Sectoral Wage-Setting in California"
We provide the first causal evidence of the (highest in the US) $20 minimum wage for large fast-food chains in California, implemented on April 1, 2024.

🍟 What's the impact of California’s $20 #minimumwage for fast food workers?
A new report from Michael Reich and @dsosinskiy finds the sectoral wage-setting policy yielded higher pay, no changes in job numbers, and modest price increases.

ALT "A carefully implemented sectoral wage floor can raise worker pay without reducing the number of jobs or substantial consumer cost burdens." CWED chair Michael Reich.
🔹 Modest Price Increases: Prices of popular menu items rose by 3.7 percent, translating to an increase of just 15 cents for a typical $4 hamburger.
