California could raise fast-food minimum wage further

California introduced a $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers a year ago. A cost-of-living adjustment of up to 70 cents is up for discussion now.

  • Fast Food Council, which includes workers, restaurant owners, and state officials, approved a motion to consider the increase in an upcoming meeting (April or May)
  • no vote will be taken then

***

The Fast Food Council can approve annual wage hikes of up to 3.5% or match inflation, whichever is lower.

This looks to be very early stages. A wage hike is likely to trickle across other jurisdictions. the Fed will be watching.
