Reply to comment by Jet_Jirohai in How Florida's increased minimum wage could impact the future workforce by WallStreetDoesntBet

It’s just the cost of moving to Florida..Rent is high..That is if you can even find a rental at all with all the people moving here..So just to get that part straight we don’t have to attract people with $11 they coming all on their own by the droves fleeing California and NY..Now let me remind you what wages on those states

The minimum wage in California is currently $15.00/hour

The Minimum Wage Act (Article 19 of the New York State Labor Law) requires that all employees in New York State receive at least $14.20 an hour beginning December 31, 2022.

"Fleeing CA and NY" seems spinny. NY is the #1 source of people moving to Florida, but NY is actually the #1 source of people moving pretty much anywhere - including California. At the same time, NY has seen a surge of people moving to it. People just move in and out of NY a lot.

Florida's other top donors include Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio before you get to CA. There's really no one fleeing anywhere.

That's what I was saying. With or without the minimum wage hike, we're getting people moving here in droves
