Overall fast food employment will be fine. We should worry more about the crap parents are feeding their families.

Fast food employment is down 1.3% from Sep-23.

From the WSJ:

California had 726,600 people working in fast-food and other limited-service eateries in January, down 1.3% from last September, when the state backed a deal for the increased wages. Total private employment in the state declined 0.2% over that period, according to state figures.

There are only three ways to make the math work: (1) reduce labor hours, (2) accept a reduction in margin, or (3) raise prices. One is bad for workers, one is bad for owners, and one is bad for customers.
And one of those groups largely controls the outcome *
