No one is being paid to stay home. The rules of unemployment did not change. If you turned down a job, you were ineligible for unemployment benefits. The fact that many jobs are still going unfilled despite the fact that unemployment benefits ran out Labor Day.
The fact is that workers value their health over work. In other words they are sane. They also are tired of being treated like slaves by big businesses, The top 1% hold more of the nation's wealth than the middle 60%. They oppose helping the middle class with childcare costs which is counterproductive to hiring people. Women are one of the reasons why there are fewer workers.
