BlueTigerLion 05/15/21 7:03:56 PM #1:	https://www.cbsnews.com/news/unemployment-benefits-states-end-federal-aid/ A growing number of Republican-led states are rejecting increased unemployment benefits meant to help Americans during the coronavirus pandemic, a move they say will help business owners who can't find staff. West Virginia and Alaska became the latest states to announce the move Friday, after the governors of Arizona, Georgia and Ohio made similar announcements Thursday. Those states are joining at least 13 other states in opting out of the programs, bringing the total ending such benefits to at least 18. "West Virginians will have access to thousands of jobs right now and we need everybody back to work," Governor Jim Justice said during a briefing Friday. His state will end all federally funded pandemic unemployment programs at midnight on June 19. "In Arizona, we're going to use federal money to encourage people to workinstead of paying people not to work," Governor Doug Ducey said in a statement announcing Arizona would be offering one-time bonuses to returning workers. The governors of Utah, South Dakota and Wyoming announced Wednesday their states would end increased benefits. The governor of Wyoming in a statement said incentivizing people not to work is "just plain un-American." The governors of Idaho, Iowa, Missouri and Tennessee on Tuesday joined the governors of Alabama, Mississippi, and North Dakota on Monday with similar announcements. Officials in Montana, South Carolina and Arkansas announced last week those states will exit the federal program by the end of June. Montana Governor Greg Gianforte said the "vast expansion of federal unemployment benefits is now doing more harm than good." But the president disagreed, saying Monday there are still 8 million fewer jobs than when the pandemic started. He called those benefits a "lifeline." The American Rescue Plan passed in March extended $300 unemployment benefits through early September. "We'll insist that the law is followed with respect to benefits," Biden said Monday. "But we're not going to turn our backs on our fellow Americans." --- Hey now. <cite>BlueTigerLion posted [p:953944715] in At least 1...

Jiek_Fafn 05/15/21 10:41:55 PM #27:	Unemployment here maxes out at the equivalent of a $19.50/hr standard work week with those extra benefits. Youd hit the max out rate if you made a bit over $14/hr before. Living wage is $13.83/hr here because it's cheap af. Businesses outright can't begin to compete with that even when they pay a liveable wage let alone make the difference worthwhile enough to do work to get it. Is there any solution besides taking that extra money away in low cost of living states at least? With that, unemployment is only like 3.8% in Ohio atm, so I find it hard to believe that it's that much of an issue in reality. It would only be a problem if youre trying to expand and you can't get that 3% off the couch. Which you're not going to find enough regardless because the rest have been snatched up by more savvy employers. --- PSN: Jiek <cite>Jiek_Fafn posted [p:953950942] in At least 1...

A living wage is gonna be different place to place, it's a buzzword that needs to buzz off. No, its actually not. Its a term that means, enough to cover your monthly expenses and have a little bit left over. Nobody would give a shit if it was only high schoolers working there. The job market is so saturated that more than half the people there are in their late 20s or 30s. Thats societys fault. <cite>Payzmaykr posted [p:953952468] in At least 1...

InfinityMonster 05/15/21 11:59:14 PM #49:	littlebro07 posted... this talking point has been debunked several times theres literally places in the US where McDonalds, Taco Bell, etc. employees make $15+ an hour. The menu prices are still the same as places paying minimum wage. if business owners are having trouble paying living wages to their employees then they need to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and figure it out or go out of business. This is not how it works anymore and hasn't in about a decade. Prices are very different throughout the country now. Minimum wage in NYC is now $15 and a McChicken costs $2.49-$3 nowadays. They used to be $1 till like 2015. Meanwhile, there was a topic a month or two ago here with tons of people talking about still having them for $1 all over the country. A full sandwich meal comes out to like $18-$20 out here. --- "It lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge" <cite>InfinityMonster posted [p:953952859] in At least 1...

Then force them to take home less money and pay the workers $20/hr starting pay. Or just rejuvenate the workforce and provide enough jobs so people in their 40s werent having to work there. <cite>Payzmaykr posted [p:953952866] in At least 1...
