America's BEST American: Impartial and Bipartisan
Unemployment benefits ended, but hiring did not surge in September
It seemed to me that with all of the job openings being posted that there was no need to be handing out free money to people who refused to work. And that's what we did. We ended the extra pandemic unemployment programs. Logically it made sense that this would encourage people to get a job. This hasn't happened.
Apparently many people have retired early or have decided to live off their savings at least for now. I still suspect that things will change and many people will decide to go back to work. We'll see.
I agreed with the republicans on this issue. So far as is usual for them they've been wrong.
