A lot of folks are going to get a good lesson as to why government solutions to problems aren’t necessarily a good thing. First they forced the employers to lay off or furlough because they shuttered their businesses. Then they proceed to “help” the employee by giving large unemployment “benefits”. Which in turn means said employee is incentivized not to go back to work, thus creating a labor shortage for the employer when they reopen. The labor shortage creates holes in the supply chain, and the employer is facing an uphill battle to stay in the black. Just absolutely brilliant work by our politicians.
I wonder how many folks realize that they will lose their benefits when their employer cranks back up? I hope that this little bit of info will be passed along when places start opening up again.
