A Viewer Writes: This will really cripple the economic recovery

I have some friends in the local restaurant industry (in Ohio), and they are talking about re-opening their dining room at about 50% capacity about May 14th.

BUT-- the manager said she was calling employees about scheduling, and a lot of them don"t want to come back to work yet because they're making so much better money on UNEMPLOYMENT. She said she may have a very hard time staffing the place.

They receive their regular unemployment, plus that extra $600/week from the CARES Act that the federal government gives them through the end of July. That amounts to about $24./hr.
Most members of Congress knew they were messing up when they rushed to pass this bill.

Boy, were they right. This will really cripple the economic recovery.

Who stands to benefit from that (with an election at hand)?

  2. In the "old days" if you were called back to work your unemployment check ended whether you returned or not.

    Employers PAY into the unemployment fund at a cost related to their own company PAY OUTS to laid off workers !

    Small employers get screwed on both ends but all of you dumb asses think that they are all getting rich.

    NOT!

    You should thank them for your job!

  3. Well if restaurants can have only 50% customers than we get to only tip 50% too!

  4. Once you call them back--the unemployment ends period----they decline--they quit very easy

  8. If my dinning experience is only half as good I am going to only leave half a tip. I think that is what Josh was getting at. If only half of your dinning party can be seated for the meal this has an impact on your fun.
