The minimum wage just went up in several Bay Area cities–will it make a difference?

In Berkeley, the minimum wage increased from $16.99 to $18.07.“I only wish that they were bigger increases,” said Isaiah Toney, deputy director of campaigns for East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy, an organization that addresses economic equity issues and advocates for low-wage workers and communities of color. “We see not only that wages aren’t keeping up with cost-of-living and inflation increases, but other costs are increasing faster — like housing.”In the San Fr...
