California to Boost Minimum Wage to $8, Schwarzenegger Signs Bill Boosting California’s Minimum Wage From $6.75 to $8 an Hour

Not exactly related to Hispanics but I have a feeling this will have a large ripple effect for Hispanics in California

“Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill Tuesday to give California one of the highest minimum wages in the nation.

The law gives more than 1.4 million people an increase of 75 cents an hour in January and another 50 cents the following year, boosting the rate from $6.75 an hour to $8.”
