More than 2 million workers could see their jobless benefits slashed or eliminated altogether next month as more states opt out of federal unemployment programs. Some of the hardest hit will be out-of-work Black Americans.
“The states are giving them 30 days to find a job,” Andrew Stettner, an unemployment insurance expert and senior fellow at the Century Foundation, told Yahoo Money. “Most of those workers won’t find a job within those 30 days. Most of them are going to have zero in unemployment benefits.”
Those workers stand to collectively lose $10.9 billion, averaging out to potentially thousands of dollars per worker, money that also won’t flow into those states’ economies, according to an analysis by the Century Foundation.
Eighteen states so far plan to cancel the pandemic-era jobless programs. Alaska and West Virginia were the latest states to opt out on Friday, a move gaining steam among Republican governors following last week's disappointing jobs report.
“More than 50 local employers have posted recruitments, and the response has been very positive.

They’re nothing more than a bunch of moochers and losers. They refuse to take care of themselves and demand that other people do it for them.
Absolutely, and central_va is their flag carrier. He’s obviously never heard the adage, “God helps those who help themselves.”
Back on your heads! By the way, unless you know the joke of which that is the punchline, what I just wrote will make no sense.
Yup. A lot of businesses offered higher pay and bonuses in their desperation to hire people. The ones who waited and are faced with no mo' free money might not be so lucky.

The lazy and unequal are being forced to work against their will. The states are making slaves of them
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.

Well I didn’t really lose it. It’s just when I go there some other guy is doing it.
I lost my girl
Well I didn’t really lose her.
Fact Check
Mostly false
States are opting out of that extra $300/wk, not unemployment altogether
And your, “back due” rent needs to be paid!

Lie.”
Prove it or shut up when calling me a liar.
BINGE every business is begging for help some giving a $1000 sign up but note what the story is pimping.
Some of the hardest hit will be out-of-work Black Americans.
aka race baiting
What’s he paying for a fitter with 40 years of experience??
I know someone who is a manager at a minigokf, go cart, arcade style venue. One major issue they have is the mask requirement, where the state mandates the person standing out in the parking lot must even wear a mask. Unless you really are in need, no one is gonna stand in the hot sun all day in a mask.
Point taken, but IMO you'd have been better served by posting this rather than the one word response.
Made you look like a drive-by poster.
None of my business, really - just sayin'.
The thing about risk it’s an option.
