California fast food workers will earn at least $20 per hour. How's that minimum wage compare

 

As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, California had already begun a gradual increase in its minimum wage. The minimum wage in California was set to increase incrementally over the years. However, the exact rate and timeline could have changed since then.

If California fast food workers are set to earn at least $20 per hour, it would likely be above the state's minimum wage at the time of my last update. As of September 2021, California's minimum wage was on a schedule to increase each year until it reached $15 per hour for most employees by 2023. However, some smaller employers and agricultural employers had a slightly longer timeline to reach $15 per hour.

If the minimum wage has continued to increase beyond $15 per hour since my last update, then fast food workers earning $20 per hour would be earning significantly more than the minimum wage. Keep in mind that minimum wage rates can change due to legislation, so it's important to check the most up-to-date information to get an accurate comparison.
