LA Lost 11K Hotel Jobs in 2024, New $38.35 Minimum Wage Risks More, Group Says
- The Center for Union Facts warned Los Angeles City Council against adopting a $30 minimum wage for hotel and LAX concession workers before a final vote in May 2025.
- The warning came after state data revealed that Los Angeles experienced a reduction of 11,000 hotel jobs in 2024, occurring alongside an increasing population and challenges such as inflation and a sluggish recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The proposed wage increase would affect hotels with 60+ rooms and LAX concessionaires with 50+ employees, raising wages from about $20 to $30 per hour plus additional health benefits.
- Local 11 union advocates for the wage increase due to inflation and rising corporate earnings, while the Hotel Association argues that Los Angeles lags behind other major cities in recovery and warns that the new wage plan could lead to significant job losses and higher expenses for tourists.
- The City Council approved the ordinance 12-3 and is expected to finalize the vote soon, signaling a significant wage hike despite concerns about employment and visitor impact.
