Concur. Where I live it’s between $45-60/hr. The problem I see is that recognizing this requires recognizing that you’re not wealthy either. The bourgeoisie have nothing if not their illusions.
Doesn't matter, as with all lies fox news gets their bullshit message to yell and Republicans will eat it up fighting wage increases even harder now that they have "proof"
From skimming TFA, it's not that the numbers are fake per se, it's that they're wildly misinterpreted.
Job cuts coincided with minimum wage laws, however, they also coincided with seasonal reduction in workforce. So it's entirely expected that that would happen.
Adjusting for seasonal expectations --- which you absolutely must do for a proper comparison --- gives you the opposite conclusion, and emphatically does not point to the minimum wage having a negative causal link to fast-food employment numbers.
*California’s minimum wage is $16 per hour. Starting April 1, most fast-food restaurants must pay their workers at least $20 an hour under new legislation that Newsom signed last year, **but it does not apply to restaurants that have on-site bakeries and sell bread as a stand-alone menu item, *The Associated Press reported.
Panera doesn’t make jet engines, either. WTF does that have to do with wages?
