So true. Every fast food joint in my city closes early now because no one will work. It's about time.This should HELP the economy SOME. The federal unemployment supplement has DESTROYED many small businesses.
Once again, the FED ***** up nearly everything it touches.
We all have to admit that if it were us, we'd stay home for free too for as long as we could. And I don't even think the bonus money was still being given. That ended months ago. So these people are just getting the usual $. I think the max is $750 every 2 weeks. $10 x 80 hours is $800. You have to admit, you wouldn't go back to work for $50 if you didn't have to right?
The unemployment office should be able to call your last place of employment and ask them if they offered them their jobs back. If they were, cut them off.
Ours here are still drive thru only for the same reason.

It almost makes me want illegals to come back.
You see the problem with your numbers don't you? Ten dollars, that is the problem. Hell, I would stand at a busy intersection with a sign before I would work for ten dollars an hour.
No I have a work ethic that was instilled in me at an early age and created my “go for it” nature that required lots of work and reaped lots of benefits
This.U.S. states ending federal unemployment benefit saw no clear job gains
U.S. states putting an early end to federal unemployment benefits saw a larger jump in local labor supply in June than those planning to maintain the $300 weekly supplement until early September, new data show, though there was no clear sign ithad led to significantly more hiring.
Quoting from linked article,
While that may indicate the withdrawal of benefits is having some of the impact intended by the governors who cut off the stipend, and causing more people to seek employment, the numbers are small in a national labor force of 161 million and come with a cautionary note: Job gains in both groups of states were roughly the same.
I agree, it is time for this benefit to end. But don't look for any significant change in employment. You see companies complaining, and blaming that stipend, for their inability to attain labor. But the real problem is lack of wage growth. In an economy where increasing number of people are attaining income through side hustles, like Uber, Ebay, or Amazon delivery, there is no way in hell they are going back to the grind without a significant increase in pay. Even $15 an hour is not enough. Supply and demand, at current market wages there is little supply, eliminating that stipend is not going to change that dynamic.
Plenty of manufacturing jobs for above $15/hour with benefits for the non dregs, all they have to do is get off their Bidens and apply.
It’s a workers market. Everyone is hiring.
Oh, I love to work. And I work at full throttle. But I expect to get paid at least close to what I am worth.
Yes, everyone is hiring, but a the low end of the wage scale, and there are no takers. In contrast, college graduates seeking entry level positions with salaries above fifty grand, good luck. Companies are highly selective. Like I said, in today's economy there are other ways to make money besides working for a W-2, and the people have figured that out. Until entry level wages are increased significantly companies will continue to struggle to meet staffing goals.
That's what Auto workers said just before they organized. Only back then it was $2 hr.
