Montana cutting off unemployment benefits starting in June due to lack of workers

"After June 27, Montana will stop giving recipients of jobless aid the additional $300 per week offered through Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation.

Montana will instead use funds from the March relief bill to give $1,200 bonuses to people who had an active unemployment claim as of May 4, accept a job offer and complete at least four weeks of paid work.

“Montana is open for business again, but I hear from too many employers throughout our state who can’t find workers,” Gianforte said, arguing that “nearly every sector in our economy faces a labor shortage.”

Woah Woah Woah, but the liberals on this board told me that if you give people free money they will continue working regardless, yet we are experiencing a huge shortage of works because the salary they take home is only a little more than the amount of their unemployment? That can't be right, libtards would never be wrong about something, right?

What they should do is increase the minimum wage, which is like 7 bucks in Montana. You literally cannot live off that.

Instead we should put more policies in place so that employers can continue wagecucking plebs for pennies.

tbh, I do think that's a bit extreme, but what's going on now is ridiculous (some lower earning people making more to stay at home than they would working).

Those lower paid jobs are going away soon enough tbh. '08 eliminated a bunch that will never come back, and we're going to see after '20 that there will be a lot of service sector jobs that will never come back. After the coming recession (did you see the stock market sell-off today happening at ahintof interest rate increases?), it will be more still. Automation is a frog boil.

Right now, a weird moment in a weird event of history has increased demand for bottom end wagies (basically a reopening melt-up occurring right after Rona and right before a recession or hyperinflation), but that's going to be transient. Stay strong, povertybrahs. Your hyperinflated perma-stimmy checks are going to come soon enough.

Just looked up jobs in Montana. Yup, no wonder there is a worker shortage. All the jobs are garbage.

Exactly.

Also how many lottery winners or Crypto investors continue to work at McDonalds or whatever upon getting money? Close to zero.

Wait until all this unemployment ends for everyone and they all look for work at the same time.
Millions of shiit workers applying for a few shiit jobs. Then when everything falls apart it will be The Meany Trumps fault.

The US unemployment rate isn't even that high...higher than usual yes.

But unemployment rate is 6%, normal unemployment rate is 4-5%

But Ive heard of multiple instances of this (lack of workers).


Something seems off.

When Trump removed all the regulations on coal mining, the coal mining jobs that were "never coming back", all came back. You try to sound like you know what's going on but you still sound like a leftist.

I googled it and according to the US Census Bureau, the state of Montana is 88.9% white.

Why are minorities being blamed again?
