[QUOTE="mark46, post: 75939605, member: 257078"] Unemployment Insurance certainly has changed in past decades. Apparently, now one does not need to show that one is looking for work. There is little question that fast food and other restaurants that pay low wages have lots of job openings. Paying $15 an hour won't make the dirrerence. I have be a liberal for 60 years. I do NOT support unemployment payments for those who can work at the same job as before. Obviously, someone who has children at home may NOT be able to work. So, the restaurants need workers. So, what do we say to these $10 ($400 a week) an hour workers? Hey, we'll pay you $200 a week unemployment plus $300 a week to stay home. Is it a surprise that many workers in this situation won't come back to work until September? ==================== I would note that this $300 is very needed for lots of workers, especially "gig" workers who aren't covered by unemployment insurance. As I said, it also critical for those with children at home, or where their workplace is still not open. ==================== BOTTOM LINE Many states are taking the easy way out. Rather than checking to see where a person last worked (or his work history), it is easier for them to simply reject the federal money, greatly hurting many of the needy in their states. [/QUOTE]
