Unemployment Benefits


I read something about how people with the opportunity to go back to work are not doing it because of a combination of fears for their safety, and the fact that unemployment benefits are a lot more than they would get working. With the extra $600 per week mandated by the relief bill, a lot of people receiving benefits are getting in excess of $1K per week. The extra $600 is set to expire 7/31 but it wouldn’t surprise me to see it extended. What will this do to small businesses? What cashier or fry cook is going to want to rush back to work for their $10-12/hr job?
