Wow, did not realize how far behind California is on minimum wage, its only at $10.50/hr. Oregon is already at $10.75/hr in most rural counties, and $12 in Portland and surrounding areas. Meanwhile up here in Washington we're at $11.50, and Seattle proper is $15/hr here in a few days.
How does the state justify letting businesses pull a fast one on contractors at $10/hr? Sounds like an end run around the law.
- jessriedel 8y agoWhy would everywhere be expected to have the same minimum wage? SF is $15/hr.
- metildaa 8y agoLiving in LA on $10hr as a contractor (below state minimum wage) is only possible by corporations breaking the law. They are stealing from the worker, to the tune of at least $2/hr in this case as minimum wage in LA County is $12/hr: https://www.lacounty.gov/minimum-wage/ https://www.lacounty.gov/minimum-wage/
- dehrmann 8y agoYou need to remember California has some pretty rural areas, too. While city-by-city policies don't work very well when nearby cities have different policies, state-wide (and nation-wide, for that matter) don't work well, either.
