California’s minimum wage increase for many fast-food employees is set to take effect in April of this year. Previously, the fast food minimum wage was set at $16. This means a worker making minimum wage could see up to a 20% increase on their take-home checks.     

However, many business owners in the state are worrying about how they are going to pay for these forced wage hikes, with some threatening to cut worker hours or raise menu prices to compensate.

Relevance to forcing employers to pay insane wages? The end result of this stupidity will be less employees, higher prices and businesses going under...so less jobs. With the already high prices of groceries, rent and utilities, topping it with insane wages for unskilled labor(and the increased payroll taxes) the only winners will be those that collect the higher taxes and administer unemployment......government workers.
