NFIB Calls on Voters to Reject Proposition 32
- Since the April 1, 2024, implementation of the $20-per-hour minimum wage applied to fast-food-franchise businesses, nearly 9,500 entry-level jobs have been eliminated; restaurants have hiked prices by an average of 8%; and many operators are rapidly switching to kiosks and robotics.
- Governor Newsom has ruled at least once to delay the July 1, 2024, implementation of a $25-per-hour minimum wage phase-in on health-care facilities – including all small business vendors operating within those campuses – citing the cost impact it would have on California’s already deep-red $78 billion budget.
- The City of West Hollywood, which has witnessed a 39% reduction in jobs because of their recent minimum wage increase to $19.07 (the highest standard wage rate in the nation) has delayed yet another minimum wage increase to $19.61 per hour out of concern for jobs and the economy in the city.
