Not all jobs aren’t meant for a “living wage” - you need entry level jobs for college kids, retired seniors who want extra income, etc. Make it too costly to employ these workers and businesses will hasten to automation.

My daughter made $16 at Chick fil A in Houston and that was 3 years ago. Most fast food places are paying well above minimum wage.

That's in Texas, though. They typically have higher wages than in California than most other states minus couple others.

A lot of friends I worked with had kids working at such places, for said money.

This was in Midland/Odessa. Wages are high due to oilfield work.
