The consequences of liberal pandering and monkey business are coming to Southern California sooner rather than later. California has the most business unfriendly climate of virtually any state in the union, from labor laws, to environmental mandates, to licensing requirements. All of these combine to make it difficult to start a business and to maintain a business in the Golden state.
The most recent decision to set a minimum wage of $15 has sealed the fate of many businesses that depend on low-skill, entry level workers. And although the liberals and labor unions touted this new plan as a boon to low-income workers, the reality is that it will push businesses to other states, offshore if the business can be moved, or simply cause them to shut down if the wage level makes the business uneconomic.
One example is American Apparel, a downtown Los Angeles company that employs about 4,600 workers. The company has had a difficult past, and is emerging from bankruptcy, but the minimum wage level has ensured that the company will leave their California location.

Maybe this is what liberals want. The more unemployed the more democrat voters.
Like sheep to slaughter … so it begins ..
Geez, who woulda thought this would result from making it more expensive to employ people?
Appears they filed for bankruptcy before $15 hike. Seems to me they were on the way out way before the hike.
Good! Government interference strikes again! The Capitalist system allows a company to make a profit and offer employment according to their expenses! Government interference will cause lots of “unemployment”!
This way we all learn! Economics 101!
