How might eligibility for Medi-Cal change for fast-food workers with the new $20 minimum wage? Read our report: https://t.co/6lmdvgYEUh @savannahmhunter @ELopezlira @kjacobs9

There are a lot of misconceptions about who low-wage workers are. Most low-wage workers, including fast-food workers, are adults and are the main providers in their families. @ELopezlira @AP https://t.co/SSYP6RfCzO

Who is working minimum-wage jobs on the day shift when high school and college students are in classes? "It would surprise you--adults with families and seniors on fixed incomes." @CathieA_SacBee @sacbee_news @ELopezlira @savannahmhunter https://t.co/JnbzPt21rO

CA's law significantly raising wages for health care workers is now being implemented. Our research finds the policy's benefits largely outweigh its costs, potentially saving the state hundreds of millions of dollars annually. @shan__mcdonagh @Newsweek https://t.co/FHKicQctIc

Critics said California's minimum wage increase would be a job killer.

Guess what? The opposite happened.

California now has more fast-food jobs than ever before. https://t.co/8RMHWadOgi

@khernandezl10 @equitablegrowth Congratulations! 👏👏👏

Our research "emphasizes the need to improve the quality of these jobs — not just the wage, but the work itself,” said Enrique Lopezlira, who directs the center’s low-wage work research.

Do you know who is paid low wages in California? It may not be who you think it is. Learn more in our updated Low-Wage Work in California Data Explorer: https://t.co/xPbmhlJ2c6

.@ELopezlira: "Even though there’s been some wage gains at the bottom, the reality is that low-wage workers are still not earning a living wage." @CalMatters discusses our new Low-Wage Work in CA Data Explorer. https://t.co/Y40MOXJFHE

We will celebrate Jane’s life and legacy soon. For now, and always, the best tribute will be to continue her work strengthening the labor movement and mentoring grassroots leaders in the skills they need to win.
