Minimum wage for California fast-food workers is going up in 2024 and Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom couldn’t be happier.

“This is a big deal,” the governor said Thursday as the state announced the minimum wage for the industry will go up to $20 an hour, up from $15.50, which will remain the minimum wage for all other workers. In an earlier version of the bill Newsom signed Thursday, workers had asked for $22 an hour.
