21 states are going to drop the unemployment pandemic assistance program just for the reason of getting people back to work when there are plenty of jobs out there. The gubment incentivizing people not to go back to work is what the problem is.
Excerpt from article:
"$387. That's how much the average American receives from their state in weekly unemployment payments, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities,
which rises to $687 with the federal boost. Based on a 40-hour workweek, that means the average unemployed American is getting the equivalent of $17.17 an hour—more than twice the federal minimum wage."
