Some former recipients, especially older, more affluent ones, have decided to retire earlier than they had planned. With Americans’ overall home values and stock portfolios having surged since the pandemic struck, Fed officials estimate that up to 2 million more people have retired since then than otherwise would have.
“I’m not lazy,” Berryman said. “I am unemployed. That does not mean I’m lazy. Just because someone cannot find suitable work in their profession doesn’t mean they’re trash to be thrown away.” And Hamby, 51, may do so herself if she doesn’t find work soon. The jobs she had for decades at auto factories have largely disappeared. The positions that she sees available now require skills she doesn’t have. Yet she isn’t desperate for just any job.
. Staffing at childcare centers has fallen, reducing the care that is available. And while schools have reopened for in-person learning, frequent closings because of COVID outbreaks have been disruptive for some working parents., in some cases spurred by the prospect of higher pay elsewhere. Richard von Glahn, policy director for Missouri Jobs With Justice, an advocacy group, suggested that many people on the sidelines of the job market want more benefits or the flexibility to care for children.
Wyoming has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the country, he noted, and has been a COVID-19 hotspot since late summer. The surge in infections, Liu said, may be causing some parents to keep their children home.“Wyoming,” Brown said, “is not interested in continuing to allow the federal government to keep people away from jobs, paying them as much to stay home in some cases as to go and get a job.
I have not received my child tax credit for the months of July, August, September and October. What's going on and why I haven't received those payments for my eligible dependants. The money was destined for all of the Americans in need. We had Covid
Let it be known I do not like Governor Ron he a bully . He does not care how many people die he going to get what he wants And that is sad. Give him a bottle you get what you want no matter what.
I know we are not suppose to hate but this guy right here I do not like. He a bully. People here getting kill but he does not say anything. But that girl name gabby he made sure 4wks later he made sure he reaches out to the family.
I live in FL a state I hate with a passion not no time has Ron said anything about helping fl. But his fat butt is quick to tell Police officers move to FL we will give you a 5k bonus. The only thing he gave was 1k to the Dr's and Nurses. And teachers But not Florida.
All the white folks have been throwing hints at the people that are saying we are fed up. Every day the government is stealing from us. But only thing they say with their smart mouths is get a job. Well why don't yall get a job.
Employers are baffled that workers do no want to return to toxic and dangerous work environments considering that they now have to deal with people actively spreading a virus that can kill the workers and their families too. There, fixed your title for you. Invoice is en route.
DixieProle Those people wrong? On anything? Genuinely shocking.
No mention of close to 1M dead people in this article about lack of workers, despite aid coming to an end or cut off early in many states. Even AFTER companies like thegreekcorner helping to pay for motivational billboards reading ‘Get Off Your Butt’ and ‘Get. To. Work.’
Republican Governor's. Enough said.
+States that took away the benefit early, lost millions of local revenue. $180 of every $300 check went directly to local spending & tax collection. So states lost money, made their citizens poorer & it didn’t budge the jobs market. A lose-lose-lose move for those dumb states.
People want to work, just not for companies who pay low wages & have toxic environments with no covid safety. According to the Census Bureau, more than 4.4 million new businesses were created in the U.S. during 2020 — the highest total on record.
Child care!
You got a Bible verse for this marcorubio ?
I saw a job posting at a gas station this morning. $11/hour Must be available days/nights/weekends/holidays And the owner wined about not getting “qualified” applicants.
Because f*ck working for peanuts and slave wages. I personally enjoy seeing places that refuse to treat humans like humans going out of business, ESPECIALLY the trumper mom and pop stores. I hope they all go under.
It’s possible that workers just don’t want to be treated like the dirt beneath an employers feet anymore. If you are going to live in poverty whether you work or not, why work and also have someone make you feel bad?
A year and a half of making more money than they ever had adds up.
Yeah, but they still got to screw the little guy over, so there's that. 🙄
KatieHill4CA Unless you are on the upside of the K, ortherwise?
KatieHill4CA Do you guys know how to read the weekly unemployment claims?
Where is the child care? Where is affordable transportation?
Conservative economics fail? That’s unpossible.
right wing economics is a fairy tale
That would be because the problem is not Federal money.
No big surprise, as republicans real reason for attacking such a program is their contempt for working class people.
There will be as soon as people start getting evicted.
semissourian Lazy is contagious.
Mandates, fear created by media and government, people being lazy and not wanting a job, etc. Less and less people actually want a job these days. It’s weird
Sounds like they never needed the additional money in the first place.
Correction. We are seeking. Just not getting interviews. Age discrimination?
That's what happens when you base the economy on people having multiple part time jobs. People got 1 full time job instead of 2 part time

How many of these potential employees are now dead from Covid? How many are still hospitalized with Covid? Pretty big numbers the two....
Just saw Biden bragging about how low unemployment was, which is it?
