Most fast food workers in California will be paid at least $20 an hour beginning Monday when a new law is scheduled to kick in giving more financial security to a historically low-paying profession while threatening to raise prices in a state already known for its high-cost of living.

An employee collects payment at an Auntie Anne’s and Cinnabon store in Livermore, Calif., Thursday, March 28, 2024. He’s among hundreds of thousands of California fast-food workers who will be paid at least $20 an hour starting Monday, April 1. …LIVERMORE, Calif. —

I wish this would have come sooner,” Vilorio said through a translator. “Because I would not have been looking for so many other jobs in different places.” “I try to do right by my employees.
