Going on unemployment these days may be a boon for some, but those that are still working?
Maybe not so much. Some sitting at home may make $9600.00 more annually with the $600.00 bonus, per week, on top of what they receive in unemployment benefits.
"Some people who continue to work through the coronavirus outbreak are upset that they’re getting no additional pay, while some unemployed people are now receiving more in unemployment benefits than they were paid on the job."
"Nationally, the average weekly unemployment benefit was $385 per week as of January 2020, Gary Burtless, a senior fellow in economic studies at the Brookings Institution, told PolitiFact. With the stimulus bonus, that person’s benefit would more than double to $985 per week."
