Compensation for California’s lowest-paid workers will rise as much as 50% or more per hour by 2016 due to the state’s minimum-wage hike and ObamaCare’s employer penalties.
But total wages earned by a full-time worker today making close to the minimum wage may not rise at all and may well decrease.
