Exactly, I was referencing this part of the article: "The current minimum wage rates are $16 per hour for most workers and $20 in the fast-food sector. The health care sector will eventually see its minimum wage reach $25 per hour under a law that Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed last year and took effect in October."

It's not minimum wage, it's asinine. You'll clearly overlook positions and corporations will change job titles to make them fall into other categories.

I know you work in the health care sector but most of your job is going to be promoting the use of these drugs.. your job title actually falls under marketing now. Sorry we'll give you $16 an hour. (Joking example of course, but I'm sure, but if you can pay your employees 30%+ less under a different title ... Companies will look for ways to make it happen.
