Unemployment benefits are ending this September. Aren’t you sad?

I have a cousin that is upset because unemployment benefits are ending and the extra stimulus checks are cutting off. She complains that it’s unfair that our president and governors are doing this when people are still struggling. She applied for jobs but not since last month. I think it’s unfair that what our president is doing but she should be looking for a job. A lot of places are hiring and she won’t apply. She said she’s waiting for her old job to give her her job back but they kept telling her they can’t offer her a job right now and they won’t know until like October. She said if she gets a job but then her old employer retire her back then she might have to cut down the new job and take the old job back. There’s jobs that have 14-17/hr jobs! Even 20 or 25 bucks an hour! I would take those jobs! She said her old job didn’t pay her much and she only got paid like 11.50 an hour. I think she should take the new jobs. Honestly I think she likes sitting at home and collecting unemployment and she said that she gets paid to stay at home.
I’ve never been on unemployment since I’m only 18 but I start my new job tomorrow.

Many people are not returning to work because child care is not available. This is why Biden’s infrastructure bill includes funding for that.

@LeopoldBloom OK I understand that but there’s some preschools that are opening back I don’t know about every state but there’s some that are opening back. I know they don’t truster kids to be in the school because of Covid still around but it’s not as bad as it was last year.
@LaylaTheTallGirl Child care is becoming available but it’s still not sufficient.

@LeopoldBloom that’s what I mean it’s still not safe. So what are they going to do the stay at home?
