Biden says federal unemployment supplement didn’t cause poor jobs report

President Biden on Friday insisted that disappointing jobs growth isn’t the result of a federal unemployment insurance supplement — even though business owners say they can’t get enough workers to come back.

Republicans and business groups blame the $300 weekly federal subsidy that runs through Sept. 6, which allows some low-wage workers to make more money staying home than returning to work.

But Biden said the jobs figures actually show “more help is needed” via his $4 trillion infrastructure and “families” proposals and denied the slowdown is because of the subsidy that he signed into law in March.

When you collect about $16.62 an hour on unemployment, why work?

Here in Indiana, you have to at least pretend you want to get a job by doing occasional applications.

One restaurant guy on the news said he had 80 applications and two people showed up to interview.
