What a shame this needs to be done. There are some fields of work that should always be prioritized for living wages at a level that does not require working multiple jobs. Health care workers and people providing care to disabled and elderly. We put our lives in their hands every day. Making sure they are healthy and sane should be a priority. Also, anyone in the food industry from farms to our tables, first responders, and teachers (particularly pre k through grade 12) These should all be jobs we place as a priority since our well-being is dependent on them.
Democrats in California have agreed to delay a minimum wage increase for about 426,000 health care workers to help balance the budget
