A low minimum doesn't necessarily mean a state is less generous relative to others. They may make it easier than other states for workers to qualify for benefits, for example. Hawaii, which has the lowest minimum, pays out the second-highest average benefit in May, at $466 a week.Arrows pointing outwards
A small share of workers receive a state's minimum weekly payment, Stettner said. Some, like part-time and low-wage workers, are more likely than others to get the minimum. States set eligibility requirements to be able to collect unemployment benefits. Those who just creep over the eligibility bar often get near-minimum weekly payments.However, the technical workings of state unemployment systems means "mixed earners" — who make a living through a combination of traditional W-2 and self-employment income — are also
acorns Joe Biden and the Democrats hate America and will destroy us. This is not just an election - this is a turning point. We must all vote for President Trump in November.

ScottWapnerCNBC acorns what state only pays $5.00 a week unemployment?
ScottWapnerCNBC acorns And they got $400 a week back by executive order. That’s really very generous still considering it’s way above the maximum unemployment benefit itself in most states.
acorns Alternate headline: Republicans cheer as Trump signs order for welfare checks, student loan relief, and pre-existing conditions for Obamacare; blast Biden for socialism.
acorns The Congress can agree on trillions to purchase bad debts from corporations during a pandemic but when it comes to delivering help to the people who actually build this country, the regular everyday American, they just can’t figure out what to do-term limits!
ScottWapnerCNBC acorns Biased shit media. Stop pushing your agenda.
acorns Your shitty propaganda headline. 💩
acorns CNBC you should be ashamed of posting a headline like this. It is so misleading. The state minimums are hardly relevant. If someone really tries to justify why a person on unemployment should receive $55K/yr then I immediately stop listening. $600 was too high!
acorns Recycle old news! Pathetic!
acorns What a stupid fuckin headline.....
acorns $400 each week is $1600 tax free $$. A lot more than I'm making. I would take my time looking for a job if I made that amount.
ScottWapnerCNBC acorns Shame the Dems got greedy. Wanted voting changes and $ for state governments. But now if they fight the EOs in court, they look even worse. lose/lose...and Trump wins. Voters don’t believe that states can’t find their own police, fire, etc. bc they can....bad miscalc again
acorns And they’re getting $400 plus a tax free 7% raise. Then there’s the 3 other Executive Orders. Pelosi just got the worst Ass Kicking of her Career.
ScottWapnerCNBC acorns And they wouldn’t be getting the extra $400 if it was up to Pelosi...... you “conveniently” left that part out.
acorns Never anything positive to say. You feed the weak lies.
CNBC CNBC .... COMMUNIST NEWS BROADCAST COMPANY..
CNBC Why didn’t they save soon money. And every fast food is hiring
CNBC Solution: print more money!
CNBC If you can shop in a mask you can work in a mask
CNBC And? They were barely working to start with if they are only receiving that little. If they were smart, they saved their weekly $600 bonuses. Can't have a free ride forever.
CNBC Keep pushing socialism NBC. Good job
CNBC There are millions who have received nothing throughout the last 7 months. They don't have work now. They didn't have work then. Most live day to day, skimping by on handouts. The food banks that had been their mainstay, became untenable, because of those who lost jobs.
CNBC Time to get back to work.
CNBC $5 is $5. Mcdonald has a great dollar menu!!!
CNBC This is somewhat misleading. Republicans offered with $200 per week and Democrats wanted to keep the original $600. Americans won't be left with scraps, a deal will get agreed upon
CNBC Thanks to China
CNBC It's only that low if you work part time. Nice try, NBC.
CNBC Democrats could have avoided all this.
CNBC Wtf were these people doing before Covid? That might explain a lot!
CNBC THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA !!
CNBC Get a job
CNBC America is a sick place.
CNBC MAGA
acorns Thanks, Dems! How many deals have they turned away?
acorns I’d like to see political folk live off of $5 ! How dare those SOBs
acorns Worthless Democrat politicians holding Americans hostage once aga.
acorns
acorns Verifies the Internment Video of the Uighurs circulating last Month was valid. Dignity & Human Rights is the enemy of China & Communism. Read this chilling article.
acorns The now infamous $600/wk has been poorly managed unfairly from the start... it should have been an amount based upon prior income... many people got raises to not work, and that is not fair, while others needed more...perpetuating this fiasco is just awful.
acorns Don’t worry trump is gonna make it big !!! Big ratings !!! When trump finish it’s going to be amazing !!! You know it !!! Lol Who talks like that ? Seriously !!!
acorns go get a job because masks and social distancing work
acorns This is so stupid. Payouts are based on previous earnings. If you were only making $10 a week, you'll get something like $5 in unemployment. Stop with the intentionally misleading, shocking headlines.
acorns Dont these people know how to budget and live within their means?
acorns Why hasn’t SpeakerPelosi done anything about this? She still gets paid and can buy ice cream so not an urgent issue I suppose.
acorns Dnc governors destroying millions of jobs and lives daily.
acorns SpeakerPelosi will get the job done 4 the American worker as she knows if they don't Rep's & Trump will be held accountable. It's nonsense that Workers don't want to work or they get too much. Ever saw one of them complaining if they got too much. Market is up because of it!
acorns Lots of jobs at USPS. We need mail persons.
acorns So go get a job!
acorns Get back to work. We’re hiring and can’t find anybody because the government is paying them to stay home.
acorns Lance Gooden: With $600 extra unemployment expired, business owners in my district tell me this week is the FIRST WEEK they’ve had all their employees show up.
acorns Sounds more of a state problem than federal. Demand change from your state!!
acorns O M G Iam up the creek without a paddle.. at least i can sleep under a bridge... Rent Free...
acorns Go to work...simple
acorns I know some people who are loosing their place because of this loss, we need to bring it back before crime goes more up then what it is, there will be more homelessness
acorns Wow. Yall really out here using that to market Acorns? Classy. (Not really)
acorns And now yall know what its like to be me.
acorns You would think that with the election right around the corner they would make an effort not to piss off 30 million voters.
acorns Republicans think even $5 is too much
Open businesses now and prosecute politicians
Headline should read: million of essential workers, have worked over 700 hours, exposing themselves, while making less than those sitting at home.
Actually, the $600 unemployment ran out on July 25th for most. 'The $600 payment is only provided for weeks ending on a Saturday or Sunday. The final week this month, July 26-31, ends on a Friday, which means no benefit payment will be sent for that week'
Get ready for the riots in a few weeks unless things change.
Greedy and Lazy are the nature of most people. I like cash without any hard work.
Wow
Time to go back to work
Not sure how you get there...the $600/wk boost was just that a supplement...no one collects just $5/wk in unemployment at the state level.
I guess with the $10 you can go buy a kitchen knife and rob a bank.....Life Hack.
Democrats refused to pass it.
Arizona pays $117 minimum with the Pandemic unemployment, but usually these workers don’t qualify at all. The maximum is only $240 so those workers are feeling it too.
Or they can get a job, everywhere around me is hiring.
I see help wanted signs everywhere. Get a job.
People get state unemployment benefits, liars.
IAmSophiaNelson Melania says, 'Let them eat cake'
It’s hilarious that me and about 10 business owners can’t find help to save our lives yet people say they can’t find work. Every business that is open is looking for worker. Most people are lazy and just wanna sit home and collect a check. The worst in 20 year looking for workers
SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer stevenmnuchin1 jimcramer senatemajldr POTUS Hard to believe democrats refused to extend the $600 bonus for a week while they negotiated a deal. Completely unnecessary.
Essential workers need bonus pay as well. We are not going to work extra and get paid less then people sitting at home
No matter what you think about the $600, reality is it’s $2600 less per month to spend on housing, utilities, food, car pmt. insurance, gas... Spending keeps businesses alive & people employed. The impact on the economy will not be good.
So you mean now it's back to how it's been for the last 50 years?
Look at me. I'm in tatters! I been shattered! All this chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter about shmatta, shmatta, shmatta... I can't give it away on 7th Avenue. This town's been wearin' tatters! Uh-huh.... Shadoobie Shattered! Does it matter?
People need to get back to work there's help wanted signs everywhere so everyone needs to go back to work
Maybe they should have learned a skill. Plenty of jobs available out there.
While this might hurt a lot of people, a good budget can help fix a lot of personal finance problems.
Economy bouta crash again.
Guess people should have saved.
$5 dollars is enough to buy a cardboard box to sleep inside and camp out on the front lawns of Senate Republicans.
Time to get off the couch and back to work!
time to GO TO WORK, no more sitting at home on the couch smoking a joint
