California's fast food sector experienced a 3.2% decrease, resulting in the loss of 18,000 jobs, following the implementation of a $20/hour minimum wage law, according to a new NBER study. This contrasts with job growth in the same sector in the rest of the country. Critics argue this illustrates the negative economic consequences of rapidly increasing wages, while Newsom’s office disputes the study's findings, citing other research that indicates steady job numbers and a minimal price increase on fast food items.
