California Minimum Wage 2024 $20. A deal announced today by labor groups and the fast food industry would give workers a $20 minimum wage and pull a measure off the 2024 ballot. The minimum wage in california, effective january 1, 2024, is $16.00/hour for all employers.
This change is the result of governor newsom signing. The policy, which took effect in april 2024 and raised the minimum wage to $20 per hour, marks a significant shift in wage regulation.
