I think Trump's on the up and up but I've got a sensation that we can get California detached

What an insane idea? California is already broke. They don't even have enough money for welfare payments. Most of the industries have shifted to Nevada and Arizona as a result of the high minimum wages and regulations.

Minimum wage in California is crazy. My neighbors kid just got his first job at Jamba Juice a couple of months ago. He was hired on for $13.75 per hour with a promise of $14.50 after six months. The most complicated thing he does is operate a blender. His father works at an auto garage that he's worked at for 12 years. He told me it took him 8 years to make what his son does now. LOL

You gotta look at inflation. I bet his father could easily buy 3 times as much with same money.

Btw is minimum wage different in each state?

14$ minium wage not bad lols

No, prices haven't changed that much in a decade. Many states have had minimums below $7.00 for far more than 20 years, not even close to keeping track with inflation. Minimum wage is different in every jurisdiction. Georgia and Wyoming tie for the lowest minimum wage at $5.15 and the District of Columbia is the highest at $11.50. The federal (country wide) minimum is set at $7.25 but some states and employers violate that law.

If the states minimum wage is high like California is at $10.50 then employers must compete for available employees which makes the starting wages even higher. Quality employees (in San Francisco that means articulate English speaking employees) can command a really good starting wage which can be $5.00 or more above minimum.

Nvm i just realized the timeline. I was thinking of 2-3 decades ago.

There is more then 100% difference in minimum wage depending on state how comes?
Do the living expenses differ so much depending on state?
