We extended an above-market 3 day a week part-time job offer to someone we were hoping could help us in the warehouse. Despite being out of work, they turned it down because their husband is getting $950/week on unemployment and they believe a $3400 stimulus check is on the way.
I don't think so. I think the $600 is designed to help our economy and soften the blow.

Think if you read about the negotiation, the $600 was Dems attempt to get unemployment to parity with working... Basically, undoing the normal incentive structure for unemployment (the one that's supposed to push you back to work). I agree that it's already causing problems.

Ah, I see what you were saying now. Yeah, definitely not a good call by whoever was pushing for that. Turns out that if you pay people not to work, they won't work. Who could've guess that!
