What's up with every place I see hiring all of a sudden? I'm from California, where minimum wage is 15 USD per hour. On my way to work at my new job no kidding almost every office, restaurant (fast food), factory, etc. I saw on the way has boards posted outside saying “Now Hiring! Starting wage $17/hr!” Or $18, or $19.50 etc. Are less Americans working now? Or what's going on? Why is there suddenly a high demand for workers now?
