The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that California’s fast-food sector lost over 6,000 jobs since the hike was implemented in April, despite the nation seeing overall fast-food job growth of 1.6%.These job losses are only part of the story. According to the Employment Policies Institute, nearly nine out of ten fast-food workers experienced cuts to their hours between April and May, negating much of the financial benefit promised by the wage increase. At the same time, inflationary pressures have intensified. Faria cites announcements from McDonald’s and Chipotle to increase prices, a trend contributing to the state’s already higher-than-average inflation rates. -https://mxmnews.com/article/8cccaeeb-a87e-4bc8-bac2-c748311ea35d
