Are you a #postdoc in the US, or are you consider doing one? You should be aware of some major changes to the California minimum wage law that could have major effects on postdoc pay (for the better!)

/12 There are many potential issues though, so it'll be interesting to see how this is dealt with in the coming years - the main issue being that PIs rely on postdocs that need to be paid by grants, and for the past many years, grants have not increased.
/13 Another interesting question is whether this change to California law will spread across the country - e.g. if postdocs are paid $62k in California, will postdoc still only be paid, say, $50k in New York? California is a big state and could influence the rest of the country!
/14 The most interesting outcome IMO though is this - will the NIH chose to follow pay scales mandated by California to ensure equal (higher) pay for all postdocs? Will they take these changes into consideration when determining grant sizes?
/15 Whatever happens, change is coming - and as a postdoc you should be aware. I hope most of this change will be good - higher and fairer postdoc pay! [As a sidenote, PIs should be aware too when budgeting for future grants...]
