There would be a lot more room to pay people a living wage if we didn’t ALSO have to pay the government a living wage. I wonder, when you look at the cost of all the various required benefits, would employees rather not just get that in cash instead?
Genuine question: when you looked at the costs of “plus... well all the other stuff it takes to employ a human,” what did that add up to in CA?

In the US, even in CA, the government taxes are quite modest compared to other developed countries. Healthcare on the other hand is ruinous unless you can afford the almost equally ruinous health insurance.
