Wage wars

Overview
The Governor of a large U.S. state is considering raising the minimum wage for fast-food workers to $20 per hour, mirroring California’s recent policy. California’s experience shows mixed outcomes: higher wages and lower turnover but fewer jobs and reduced hours. Candidates must analyze the data, perform calculations, and weigh trade-offs to recommend whether the state should adopt a similar policy.
