Just one more reason democrats should never be in charge of anything...all this because some fools think minimum wage jobs are supposed to support a family.

From the article:

After California implemented a new law boosting the minimum wage for fast-food workers earlier this year, a majority of restaurants increased prices and cut employee hours, according to a recent report from the Employment Policies Institute. 

Some are considering expanding outside the state now more than ever.

Since April, when the law took effect, 98% of restaurants surveyed said they have already raised the cost of menu items, and 93% plan to do so next year. Additionally, 89% reported already reducing the number of employee hours, and 87% plan to do so next year. 

According to the survey, 70% of eateries already had to make staff cuts or consolidate positions. Even more, 74%, plan to do so in the coming year, the survey showed.
