    Yes but practically speaking for most wage work in CA workers have made a lot more than that (but not $20/hr) for many years. CA has a state minimum wage that is usually much higher than the federal.

    The federal minimum wage represents a legal floor but it’s so low and never changes that it’s functionally meaningless.
