Thats not fair to say because of unemployed women or peoples want to stay home. If we go to work our kids still in online home school. If our kids go back to school half a week then we have to pay for child care which will cost more then we can earn because we would be working part-time due to our child is in online school. Its just very hard time for all parents right now. Please stop blaming unemployment help, if anything its helping us Americans feeding our family and pay some of our basic bills.

Horrible governor and even worse unelected presidential appointee

The Chambers of Commerce default assumption is that keeping wages down & people in desperate debt is the way to motivate them to work. Indentured servitude. The idea of workers being looked at & treated as partners in business is unheard of.

If a person is making more on un-employment benefits then they're paid for their job, they not getting paid enough TO work.

What President Biden and Vice President Harris need to do is go to every District in the country (regardless if the Congressman/Senator is a Democrat or Republican) and hold rallies like President Trump did to explain the benefits of his proposals and that the only way for more economic aid can be passed is to ensure to the votes that the Democrats hold onto/expand their majorities in the House and the Senate come 2022.

The only way to bring jobs back is to invest, imposing tariffs only raises the price the Consumer pays. It's not paid by the manufacturer, it's ADDED to the cost.

Going to take some time to bounce back from the mess Trump left.

Jobs are permanently lost because of the pandemic and more people are realizing that with our current level of technology they can do their jobs from home rather than having to go to an actual office to do it.

Employers just think employees are gonna come right back...This is not gonna happen overnight. People are still struggling to catch up bills, some cannot afford child care, and are not going back to same jobs. Stability and minimum wage needs to happen!!! SOON!!!
