The evidence is already here. While politicians were patting themselves on the back this January, two major Pizza Hut franchises in California eliminated their delivery service, cutting 1,200 jobs. Early this year, same-day delivery service Shipt announced it was pausing its Seattle operations entirely, resulting in layoffs. Both companies cited a higher minimum wage.
"We did not just raise the minimum wage to $20 an hour for fast food workers," said one California Assemblymember, Chris Holden, at the ceremony to sign that state's new minimum wage law. "We helped a father or mother feed their children, we helped a student put gas in their car, and helped a grandparent get their grandchild a birthday gift."
