As states begin to ease indoor dining restrictions, the food service industry is having a hard time hiring employees, a difficulty owners blame in part on the disincentivizing effects of supercharged federal unemployment benefits, which are paid to individuals on top of their state benefits.
The federal benefit that Congress created in response to the coronavirus pandemic was $600 per week, which amounted to $15 per hour before state benefits were added in.
The number of workers eligible for jobless benefits expanded during the pandemic. For the first time, self-employed workers are also able to collect unemployment benefits.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said recently that the $600 weekly supplemental jobless benefits were “very, very hard for any employer to replicate.”
Seems the socialists in government are trying their best to destroy small businesses to get their agenda through.
Lazy ass generation

All the beachgoers, no masks, then trying to get something to eat..with mask requirements and NO help. Just like memorial and 4th of july last summer.
Good luck Rickie. West Ocean City has great hospitality, where most beach goers dont know about.
When the money runs out where will all these “FREEBIES” go and how will they live?? They like that all those FREE dollars right now but they are going to run out soon. But this is why the Democrats are doing it. This way they will always control them in their Socialist/Communist world. If you do not listen you die. That is the way it is all you Democrat believers!!!! Wonder if they have thought about that?????
