New Labor Laws in California. in California, starting on Jan 1, 2023, minimum wage statewide is $15.50/hr and some cities have higher minimum wages.

Here is the list of cities in California that have higher minimum wages: Inventory of US City and County Minimum Wage Ordinances - UC Berkeley Labor Center

If you can travel to Sunnyvale, you will get $18.55/hr. Closer to you, in Santa Clara it is $17.75/hr.

Check out https://www.in-n-out.com/employment/restaurant/home: they have a higher starting wage.

Thanks. I didn’t know that the minimum wage was higher in other cities. Thanks for the links.

Will do as soon as I get another job.

Some online banks do not charge fees. SoFi bank doesn't. They are currently running a promotion, $300 for opening a checking account subject to some conditions. I have not checked the conditions but suspect you will need to have direct deposits of at least a certain amount in the first few months after you open an account. So you may not qualify for it now.

You can open a checking account online by uploading copies of you driver's license.

Thanks for letting me know that. They finally reissued my check on 12/20.

I completely forgot about Capital One. Not only do they offer a fee-free checking account, but also they actually have brick-and-mortar branches, such as Bank, Cafe, & ATM - Westfield Valley Fair | Capital One Cafe
