A new poll delivers a devastating blow to the latest lie from the mainstream media about unemployment.According to a poll from Morning Consult, a whopping 1.8 million Americans turned down jobs because the government extended unemployment benefits and it discouraged work.The outlet stated that 14.1 million Americans who were receiving unemployment insurance for the week ending June 19 that “benefits reduced the number of accepted job offers by an estimated 1.84 million over the course of the pandemic.”The 1.84 million Americans turned down jobs likely because of government

Ask any restaurant manager, they'll tell you. I have discussed this with several. Government welfare handouts are wrecking the small business economy.

All part of the plan to wreck the economy and take more control of our lives by claiming Capitalism doesn't work.

Thousands of contractors are hiring workers for a day , here and there, and paying cash to those who are getting these gubmint checks. I've been on both sides of these situations over the years and anyone who has been in that arena knows it. Cash is king for , oh! so many reasons.

The actual monthly dollar amount of benefits regardless if UI is extended does not replace one's salary. The employer contributes money to UI based upon a worker's salary but does not match it. So, during the basic eligibility period, you're supposed to be actively seeking employment because money will be tight. So, what do these people do? Live in an Airstream? Sell dope? How do they pay power and water? Food? Car payments? Prostitution? What? FTA: "...meaning that over half of the jobs that UI recipients rejected would have been rejected even if they were no longer receiving benefits." This tells me they've settled in to an alternative money making venture or now have a sugar daddy/mommy or a back to a nature lifestyle or whatever. Or maybe just hopeless and without dignity.

#4, in some places, all evictions have been stopped, so perhaps these folks just stopped paying rent.

I know business owners here say great, the child care payments will make it harder to get workers. UGH! Nice pleasant places of business cannot get people to work. Notice its only government workers who needn’t worry about job security, forced inoculations of experimental gene therapy or constantly changing medical insurances at work that pay out less and less. This is where the government is going.

My daughter teaches GED classes. She says no one is showing up these days. Wonder why? They don't need an education to get a job; Uncle Sam is paying them not to work.

Employers are probably better off without most of these "workers". When the free money stops I suspect many of the job offers will also go away, positions filled.

You mean people would rather get a check in the mail rather then look for a paying job. Is that why businesses are closed on weekends and some holidays because they can't get any help to work. Who would have thought?

It's part of the Democrap plan. Small Business owners are a target because a large majority oppose the Democraps Marxist policies.

26 states opted out of the federal extended benefits...how’s it working in the red states? My guess is blue states are the only ones holding on to the extended benefits. It amazes me why Dems love high unemployment???

The problem with Socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money. When our financial house of cards comes falling down, all these people with their hand out will find themselves in a world of hurt.

California is now making noise about a guaranteed income, which is just another money for nothing scheme designed to addict the lazy and ignorant masses to Uncle Sugar. This has long been a hobby horse of the Bernie left. Think of it as unemployment into perpetuity under the guise of 'human dignity'. The more drones that the government pays to exist, the more foot soldiers they have to react violently when someone suggest they take their 'right to free money' away.
This has been tried in other 'enlightened' countries such as Sweden, who taxes as a very high rate so that the government can provide every possible thing to all. It has been a failure everywhere, because eventually you have everyone riding the cart, and no one pulling it. The only way to keep the lie going is to keep printing money, which is exactly where we are right now.
