Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:26:25 GMT

As of Jan. 1, 2023, minimum wage became $15.50 per hour for all employers. California lawmakers propose $25 minimum wage for healthcare workers Proponents began collecting signatures for the measure in February of 2022, in an attempt to secure its place on the California ballot during last year’s midterms. H...
