California’s fast-food workers are paid nearly $3 an hour less — or nearly $6,000 less a year — than workers in comparable service-sector jobs across the state, according to a new report from UC San Francisco and Harvard.

The findings from the schools’ Shift Project also show they are more likely to have unpredictable schedules, with most employees working fewer hours than they’d prefer.  The study was not paid for by the fast-food industry but rather based on a survey of employees in the field.
