1. Wow! What’s going to be interesting is when unemployment finally ends and everyone is scrambling to find jobs at the last minute. Will there be enough jobs available? . In less than 6 months unemployment will end. People will have no choice but to find work over these next few months.

2. Leeches!!

3. All retaile is hiring due to the getting covid Is higher in these jobs and people are worried we will catch it not worth that low amount of money

4. Why most people are NOT looking for work…
   1. It's more profitable to be unemployed if not just as much as working a regular full-time job
   2. You get treated better across the board for not working then actually getting a job (in most cases; not including the search and interview process)
   3. It's overall the best and most comfortable position for people to get paid doing nothing then to put in effort on instability in a constantly changing job market that treats employees as disposable

5. Maybe the little men and women would place more faith in the system if they had good examples from executives; say from the auto industry had they done the right thing when they were bailed out? Had they used the funds to help the workers instead of buying private jets and yachts, perhaps Joe Blow would place a bit more faith in the system. But if Joe is receiving more to feed his family via benefits than he would at a job which brings more uncertainty and risk, along with less pay, some might call him a fool to go back.

6. They said on the nightly news it's because of unemployment! Hello unemployment doesn't pay as much as some of these jobs, and people still don't want to return for many resons, 1. Children still home being home schooled. 2. RISK OF COVID!! 3. NON livable wages! 4. People are terrified of the world we are now living in with the violence hate crimes police killing people covid killing people etc. I mean what do they expect. If every job was remote I almost guarantee people would be working for the wages these restaurants pay. Because there is less gas being used etc. So let's make sure we report this correctly news outlets. These jobs blaming unemployment pay is not the truth honestly. It's an excuse for them because they can't fill those positions that pay absolutely nothing, to risk one's life these days!

7. Employers can’t compete with a $300 unemployment boost pay! Wow 😏

8. Most restaurants have it bad they can't hire people to work for peanuts, and most fast food restaurants rather just keep doing take out cause they can't hire people to clean and serve.

9. I don't understand how people are making more on unemployment than when they worked because unemployment is based off of what a person made working meaning a percentage of what they made.. Now if you collect all the social services that one would be able to qualify for then a person might be able to break even or do a little better. I think most people who had regular well paying jobs and where making a decent living are collecting unemployment and using savings to make up the difference.

10. people are not willing to risk thier life and long term health for min wage.

11. Sounds like many job openings for the young or not old

12. How much are they being paid?

13. I think that they are forgetting all the people that died and fear of dying. People don't trust the media.

14. I’ll pay someone $100 RIGHT NOW to go punch Jeff Bezos in the face and yell “UNIONIZE!”

    THERE! You can add one more job to that list.

    * college degree and exorbitant student debt required

15. Time to cut unemployment.

16. The Employers have to make sure that employees have a safe environment to work in. If Employers don't make their employees feel protected from the virus by physical distancing, they won't stay!

17. Nobody wants to work in places where they can be exposed to covid

18. Crazy so many people are okay with being completely dependent on the federal government to take care of them. How come no one is talking about the fact that the covid lock downs caused the largest wealth transfer in American history. Maybe if our government didn't enforce these draconian lock downs for a virus that has a survival rate of 99%, most small businesses would've survived and people would be able to work and not rely on the state to feed them. People need to wake up.

19. Let's be clear, $300 a week isn't that much money to begin with. However, some workers either make equal to or less than this amount if they return to work. You want good workers, pay a living/comfortable wage. Hard for individuals to live off of $1200 to $2500 monthly now. Smh

20. BBBoycott any and all business that require Vaccine Passports… Even if you did a vaccine …. Airlines and airports for example could easily have vaccinated and non- vaccinated flights …. They just don’t want to….. And shouldn’t be getting anymore bailouts for running of their customers

21. They get more staying home when government gives extra 300 on top of unemployment. The pollitions are the problem..quit giving out free money and people will go back to work

22. 170 thousand illegals came across in march. Plenty of jobs for them.

23. Well, they’re making more on the government checks! 😂 what do you expect?

24. I make more in unemployment now than I ever did working. Why do think businesses can't find people to Work? It pays more now to stay on Unemployed and collect..

25. That's your fault MSM. Good job spreading fear and focusing on politics.

26. The headline should read "millions of jobs don't provide a living wage and require too much exploitation of the working class"

27. Those jobs are not being filled because these jobs DO NOT PAY A LIVING WAGE…..UNEMPLOYMENT pays more than these jobs…..DUH!

28. "Trump Leaving Office With 3M Less Jobs Than When He Entered, Worst Record Since Depression…"

29. Besides other situations, People are just wising up and finding alternative ways to make money without dealing with the stress of a 9 to 5.

30. Time to pay livable wages.

31. Okay here is the answer, those that can and are just collecting with no other reason whatso ever should loose UE and thier jobs. Those that have a reason need to provide updates on thier home and financial status. Many fought republicans so either those voters are pulling this off as a we told you so, or people are being ignorant of the fact that many voters fought to prove this wrong, it only takes 1 bad apple to ruin it though it is funny with our tech, they have the ability to figure out whom is doing this.

32. 45 dollar an hour Job I’m there with bells on

33. Let the people win this time
