Fast food lobbyists say the higher California minimum wage law led to a loss of nearly 10,000 jobs. The claim is baseless.

I live in a state on the lower-wage side of states in the country.
Fast food places here are advertising $22+ an hour to try to attract talent. Corporations are such fucking liars.
Now the question is if they actually pay that or if they interview and say "Well, depending on experience so we'll start you off at $10 and see how it goes." Lol
They try but it’s hard when target is paying 15 for stockers. My work tries to pay state minimum of $12 in several departments and the average tenure is measured in one or two pay periods at most, most don’t even stay til sign on bonus payout because they find something paying $4+ more per hour. HR argues that target, McDonald’s, and Starbucks can’t possibly hire everyone so we’ll take what’s left of the crop for our staff
That's fucked up man
