Really, does anyone think people are sitting home becoming millionaires because of a measly three hundred extra dollars?!

homoe, several industries, including my own are struggling to find people willing to go back to work because....YES....they are making just as much if not more from the added $300/week unemployment benefits than they would make working in the fields suffering the most, which offers zero incentive to get back to work.
This is good news for hospitality, food and retail industries because, like me, the other workers who have been covering the shifts and working 6 or 7 days a week and/or regular double shifts for months and months are tired, stressed out and ready to have time off again. And don't forget about the medical personnel that have been stretched to the max since the beginning of the pandemic. They got the brunt of everything during this whole thing worse than anyone else.
