A UC Berkeley Labor Center report from 2023 found that 75.4% of workers who would receive raises are women and 76% are people of color.

About 455,000 healthcare workers in California are set to see wage increases as a result of a new minimum wage law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom. That’s according to a UC Berkeley Labor Center June report looking at the effects of the minimum wage change. The average wage increase will result in an estimated $10,352 hike for each worker, the report says.
