California's Health Workers to See Minimum Wage Rise to $25
Season 2024
Episode 68
Senate Bill 525, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, will gradually raise the minimum wage for 426,000 health care workers across California to $25 an hour. However, some workers won't see the full increase until 2033, and certain exemptions mean others might not benefit at all.
