Emphasis mine. There will be no end to this. You make money? Do you try to? You're a government target.

They will not only raise the cap of paying FUI on the first $7,000 annual they’ll raise rates probably as high as 8% of pay. In five years I had no claims until 2008. My rate went from .05% to 5.4% with just this one claim.

Makes you want to hire doesn’t it? GREAT for businesses small and large. /s

“The fee is jumping from $8.40 per employee to $100.30.”

Good grief.

What a bassackward situation.

Unemployment taxes should be a bit higher during good times so we are better prepared for the tough times.

Doesn’t anybody plan ahead anymore?

I was talking to my doctor last month. He said that the taxes and fees in Alabama make it cheaper for them to shut down early one day a week than to run a full 40 hour a week operation. They can’t make a profit if they operator more than 35 hours a week.

Go Gault!

I took our family business part time 3 years ago. No full time employees.

Took a job for two years with another industry related company while my wife went back to college. She has found a job in her field and is very happy. I left to go back to the family business.

I'm sitting back enjoying life !

I will guarantee every state will be sending out letters in 2010 raising the per employee SUTA rate and also adding the infamous 1 time surcharge probably around $250 / Employee.

In order to save a program that pays out to the unemployed, the government in Florida is going to make it more difficult for employers to hire or retain workers. During an economic downturn.

Brilliant.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The consequence of this will be that more businesses will go out of business, and more unemployed people will be collecting unemployment, which will require another increase in the fee, which will drive another wave of businesses out of business, which will result in another wave of unemployed people...

This can't be accidental.

The Democrats have decided to completely destroy the economy at last, so they can claim that democracy and free-enterprise (which we have not had for a long time) don't work.

They finally get to replace it with something better. Heh.

Guess this will make a topic for discussion at Zero’s Jobs Summit.
