Reinstating $600 weekly COVID-related unemployment benefit would be bad for economy, report says - TheBlaze

The biggest problem with the weekly payments is that they disincentivize working because the millions of Americans who work in low-earning industries make more with the enhanced unemployment benefit, along with any state benefits, than from their job, according to the FGA.
The federal benefit would essentially increase government dependence and make it more difficult for industries critical to the American economy to hire reliable workers.
