California’s minimum wage is $6.75 an hour.  Although our cost of living is sky-high, we have the lowest minimum wage of any state on the West Coast. Our minimum wage is not enough to allow a working family to afford basics like housing and healthcare in California.

Assembly Bill 48 (Lieber) would increase our minimum wage by $1 over two years and then index it to inflation. It is is set to be heard on the Assembly Floor this week.  Legislators are pressured by the Chamber of Commerce to oppose even modest increases in the minimum wage. Please take a minute and remind your legislator that you can’t get by on $6.75.
