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.

Lol, $15 an hour machines. Bernie Sanders would never lie to us
Even people with so called entry level jobs deserve a living wage. These so called entry level jobs use to be that but in the last 5 years more and more people with college degrees have been forced to take these jobs. And you do realize this $15.00 an hour takes effect over the next 5 to 6 years? I’m in favor of the wage increase it should have happened years ago. Enough of corp greed.
Diane Walton maybe the big thing your missing Diane is the effect this will have on small businesses and if you had a small business you would understand what I’m talking about. Oh and by the way, small businesses employ more workers than the corporate world ever did, do some homework Diane so that you have a greater degree of understanding concerning where the jobs are and the impact this will make on those businesses!!!!
and many more
Had to see that coming.
