Many European nations with unemployment benefits that seem to go one forever also have numbers of permanently unemployed that exceed U.S. historical rates.
Many economists say that should be expected.
Many people will defer taking a 2nd or 3rd choice job, for less than they were earning before, if they can keep getting unemployment benefits and even if such benefits are less than the salaries of the jobs they don’t want to take.
Unless circumstances force some unemployed persons to go ahead and take what they can get, some would rather just stay “on the dole”. The longer this is permitted to go on, the longer it does go on. Economists know this. How come the Dims don’t?
If a rat has a choice between food in one cave that is free and infinite, vs another in a cave he has to work to get at it, which path do you think he will perpetually choose?
