1. California sets $20 minimum wage for fast food workers
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Thursday signed a state law that will raise the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20 per hour starting April 1, 2024. The measure will give the state's fast food workers the industry's highest guaranteed wage. California's minimum wage for other workers is $15.50 an hour — also among the highest in the nation. Newsom said the law recognizes that fast food workers are often primary earners in low-income households. The common belief that most are teens in their first jobs is "a romanticized version of a world that doesn't exist," he said. "We have the opportunity to reward that contribution, reward that sacrifice and stabilize an industry." The Associated Press
