South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem rejected the federal
government's offer of an additional $300 in weekly unemployment benefits and touted her state's economic recovery amid the
coronavirus pandemic.
“My administration is very grateful for the additional flexibility that this effort would have provided, but South Dakota is in the fortunate position of not needing to accept it," Noem said in a statement on Friday. "South Dakota's economy, having never been shut down, has recovered nearly 80% of our job losses. South Dakota is the only state in the nation that didn't have extended benefits kick in because our insured unemployment rate has been the lowest in the nation."
