Fast food workers are losing their jobs in California as more restaurant chains prepare to meet a new $20 minimum wage set to go into effect next week.
"A Congressional Budget Office study in December, meanwhile, estimated that increasing the current federal hourly minimum from $7.25 to $17 by 2029 would offer higher pay to some 18 million people, but also cost about 700,000 jobs, as employers cut labor costs."

So Republicans say these 700,000 job losses are worse than 18,000,000 workers getting a raise.
No surprise there. Any excuse to avoid raising wages will do.
