Glad they dropped from $600 to $400. Too many lazy fucks refusing to come back to work because theyake more on the dole than a respectable day's work.

My wifes work was going to re-open in June and couldn't because none of th employees wanted to come back because they were making more on UI.

My company works with hundreds of small businesses in the USA. This is a common refrain and it has to stop.

I thought they said if you got offered your job back and refused to go you would get cut off from the free gibs. Employers probably have to report that though and most won't assume.

$400 is way too much. Now lefties get more fuel to go rioting with no financial consequence

At minimum, it should have been capped at 80% of previous salary

Here in California, $400 is not even minimum wage. Assuming that you work 8 hours/day and 5 days/week, it would come out to only 83%. Minimum wage is the least amount of salary someone can earn(obviously), so adding a cap of 80% would either imply more money should be given out, or it would just be redundant.

Or better yet, we could just let people go back to work and earn it for themselves

CA unemployment calculator says the the normal compensation from the state is $260 per week if you were working full time at minimum wage ($13) so you add 400 to that and end up with $660 per week. That's $16.50/hr and still 27% more than you would make working.

Absolutely. Keep dropping that payment down, eventually folks will get back to work
