I'd like to see a more recent one, since it seems the pandemic spurred a lot of the price gouging. Our minimum wage has gone up $3 since 2019.
Also, since there's not a huge difference in Big Mac prices between states, I'm wondering if national chains are using the min wage increase in a few states to increase prices across the board, rather than just increasing prices in the states with high minimums.
That information would definitely be interesting to see, but I wasn't able to find it. And for the purpose of comparing min wage to prices, pretty much any year before the pandemic will do, as the purpose is comparing min wage to prices, not how the pandemic gave the excuse to corps to fuck everybody.
I'd bet that's the case as well.
California since then increased minimum wage to $16 and fast food workers have a special minimum wage of $20.
