Hotels in Los Angeles, California are struggling, a new report from industry researchers claimed in a new report.
“Hotels are struggling to keep up with rising operating costs coupled with falling demand,” the American Hotel and Lodging Association (AHLA) researchers said last week.
According to AHLA, the city’s minimum wage mandate and other policies led to increased “costs without flexibility to reflect market conditions and demand levels.”
A phased-in minimum wage hike in Los Angeles mandated up to $30 per hour for airport and hotel workers. The law was signed into law last year by Mayor Karen Bass, mandating that their hourly wage must be raised by $2.50 each year until they reach $30 in 2028. […]
The report claimed that the policies led to reduced hiring and cuts in labor hours. Other issues that arose included delayed or canceled hotel investment and development, reduced airline operations and restaurant closures. …

Who is still visiting LA that would require a hotel stay?
Bass thinks money grows on trees
Minimum wage controls have never worked. Why would she expect them to work for her. If minimum wages are such a great idea and $30/hr is good for hotel workers, surely $100/hr would be three times as good. Oh, what the hell, let’s make then REALLY happy and give them $500/hr. That would make them millionaires in one year! Oh, happy day!!!
Something don’t add up. She’s a disciple-ette of Fidel Castro. Why doesn’t Cuba have a $30/hr. minimum wage? It’s almost as if Castro-ism and Capitalism are not sympatico. Most Cubans are lucky to make $30 a month.
The whole ‘minimum wage’ thing and how government insinuates itself into essentially a private business contract is un-Constitutional imho. Pure marxism.
Someone ought to tell tell the Negra woman, all the smart people left.
All you have left is “Entitled” and idiot people.
I left as soon as I could
I’m a WASP.
Look up Negra it is not at all racist.
Spanish is my second language,
conversational only.
I do Mandarin also.
Karen got her economics education from the back of a cereal box.
Bingo. But good luck in trying to reason with a commie idiot.
If Bass were the one having to pay the $30 hr in a business that she was running, she would think it was incredibly outrageous. The problem is, idiots like her have never had to run a business. People like her are also not smart enough to.
Stupid voters elect stupid people then are clueless of why bad stuff happens.
Add in the gov’t fraud that’s built into Blue City/State programs and failure is always assured. This will fail so well, Mamdani & Hochul are sure to have New York State on the same path. Ditto Illinois, Minnesota, Washington State.
These Democrats are certain of a liberal takeover in 26 & 28 and are expecting federal gov’t bailouts all over.
“Minimum wage controls have never worked”
.
Remember the 1990 national law that “taxed the rich? Was it the Millionaire’s Tax? Luxury Tax?
I recall the boat-building business in Rhode Island collapsed—and till hasn’t fully recovered; in fact, another law is pending in RI!
The national law didn’t last and was repealed in 1993.
