$20 Minimum Wage will leave many unemployed and business closures!
#1
It is sad for a business to have to close its doors, it is worse when they have to do it 30 years after opening. Newsome got his $20 starting minimum wage, whether your 15 or 70, you get $20 minimum to work at a fast food restaurant. Here is an example why it is crazy in California: They are also a committee who can raise the average wage each year. My argument for years has been separate adult fast food workers from minors. The adults can work all hours, perform all duties and some do live off employment at a fast food restaurant. As for minors, it will hurt their employment opportunities. Why hire teens 15 to 18 when you can get a more mature worker? This is one crazy law and Newsome thinks it is a great idea?????????

It is nothing short of bizarre that California would choose to specify a substantially higher minimum wage for its fast-food industry, which tends to hire workers who are much younger than other industries, which have a minimum wage of about $16 per hour. About 30 percent of fast-food workers are teens, and another 30 percent are between twenty and twenty-four years old. With 60 percent of its workforce twenty-four or younger, the fast-food industry stands in sharp contrast to the other industries, in which only about 13 percent of workers are that young.

Young workers have less experience than older workers and are still in the process of building skills, both of which tend to limit the amount of value that young workers can create for an employer. Young workers are also expensive from a human resources standpoint, because they require significant training and because they tend to move in and out of employment frequently, reflecting school schedules. Annual worker turnover in the fast-food industry exceeds 100 percent, which raises employer recruiting and training costs significantly.

Fast-food employers have few alternatives to a $20 minimum wage other than cutting  their workforces or raising prices, as fast-food profit margins are slim, averaging 5‒8 percent. Labor advocates typically argue for the need of a “living wage” when it comes to the pay of less-skilled workers. But this ignores the fact that many of those workers are part time, and it also ignores the fact that fast-food owners and their investors must receive adequate compensation for their time and capital. Living wages can mean no wages, which is what has happened for over 9,500 California fast-food workers since last September.
