Interesting. I wonder what that represents to most healthcare workers in CA. $25/hr won’t go far with CA cost of living
It’s great if you’re a CNA
RNs and docs typically earn more than that
One-word: LAYOFFS
Worked in a hospital for 45 years. Anytime there was an added expense to the hospital layoffs started. The Pathology department brought in the most revenue yet they were the first on the chopping block. Productivity equals fewer people doing more work. Unfortunately, fewer people mean more mistakes.
Since it applies to janitors, security guards etc. it applies to lot of people.
Healthcare in LA just got more expensive - well insurances will pay, well insurance premiums will go up!
So the poor an minorities will be the most affected!
There may be a lot of janitors interested in working in LA hospitals now, but, I would imagine, there would not be too many openings.
Probably LA Healthcare work will became like other overpaid jobs - for family only.
If you are OUT, you will NEVER get these overpaid jobs!
i lived very well on $25 - $26 /hr working at a medicare health plan in orange county.
