Business owners had complained that the assistance, as Gov. Mike Parson put it, incentivized people to stay out of the work force. He made Missouri one of the first four states to halt the federal aid; a total of 26 have said they will do so by next month. But in the St. Louis metropolitan area, where the jobless rate was 4.2 percent in May, those who expected the June 12 termination would unleash a flood of job seekers were disappointed.

Work-force development officials said they had seen virtually no uptick in applicants since the governors announcement, which ended a $300 weekly supplement to other benefits. And the online job site Indeed found that in states that have abandoned the federal benefits, clicks on job postings were below the national average.

It seems as though the states that tripped all over themselves to end extended unemployment benefits have not seen any noticeable uptick in job applications.

But hey, at least we can celebrate the cruelty!
