Trenton NJ, Governor Murphy and Lab or Commissioner Asaro-Angelo have been taking victory laps on New Jersey’s January 1st minimum wage raise :

Raising the minimum wage has been a top priority of mine since day one,” said Governor Murphy. “There is no doubt that inflation has had an impact on every New Jerseyan. Now that we are close to surpassing the $15 per hour milestone, it’s important that we continue to ensure that everyone working in New Jersey has access to a livable wage.” 

“Raising and aggressively enforcing the minimum wage signals to employers and workers alike that New Jersey values its workforce,” said Labor Commissioner Robert Asaro-Angelo. “While our Department’s Workforce efforts try to ensure workers receiving minimum wage are only doing so for a small part of their career, this is a proud moment for New Jersey as we become one of the few of states with a minimum wage above $15 an hour that will continue to be adjusted each year for inflation.” 

Pizza Hut is laying off more than 1,200 delivery drivers in California. The layoffs, which will take place through the end of February, come as California’s minimum wage is about to go up by $4. Fast-food workers in the state are set to get a pay bump of close to 30% in April as the minimum wages rises from $16 to $20 an hour.

    Look for more self service kiosks at fast food places for orders and self checkout at stores

We could have sent him and his weird family on their way to anywhere but here and the ball was dropped… I guess we shouldn’t complain too much about Phillip cause he was reflected, wasn’t he… hmmm
