California put up its fast-food wage to $20. Its governor is adamant it's not causing employment to fall.

• California put up its minimum wage for workers at quick-service restaurant chains to $20 in April.
• The California Business and Industrial Alliance warned that it was costing jobs.
• But employment in the industry is seasonal and usually rises and falls throughout the year.

Since Gov. Gavin Newsom first announced plans to raise wages for fast-food workers in California, both restaurant chain executives and franchisees have warned about the impacts it could have on their businesses.
