February 24, 201016 yr I had a quarterly review with a customer yesterday and we got to talking about their workforce and the economy. He said they are having a very hard time keeping anyone because people can draw almost as much unemployment as they can working. On top of that you have extension after extension it seems there is no incentive to get a job. I am starting to think if they cap the amount of time you draw and quit with the extensions you may see the unemployment number start to come down.
February 25, 201016 yr Author He must be paying very low wages if they can draw more in unemployment. They are in illinois. I believe the unemployment max there is about $450 or so. Although that isn't going to make you rich it's still about $11 per hour. I want to say my customer pays around $12.
February 25, 201016 yr Take everyone that is receiving currently and cut them off. Watch what happens to our economy. You think it's bad now, you ain't seen nothin' yet. I see the dollars given as keeping the economy afloat until things get back to 4-5% levels. There have many articles written on this very topic.
February 25, 201016 yr What isn't true? What seemed to be implied was that people would not enter the job market because they make more on unemployment. That is only true if they are trying to enter at a much lower salary rate in a job for which they are overqualified.
February 25, 201016 yr I come into contact with about 90% of people that draw unemployment through my job and the difference amongst the majority of them and for instance myself who would be paranoid every month if I didn't have job because of security, etc is that they live month for month and do not see the future, whereas myself and I fell most level headed people would be concerned they weren't working and would want to be employed soon just because of not knowing whether or not your wages would end.
February 25, 201016 yr What was the stat I saw the other day 6 applicants for every position? I am sure some scam the system but we need more jobs.

You'll also notice they're living in Section 8 Housing.
