Bonus Unemployment Benefits Are Causing Major Labor Shortage in America

Because of the $300-a-week bonus unemployment benefits enacted in March 2021, along with other expansions of welfare benefits and cash payments unrelated to work:

  • In 21 states and DC, households can receive wage equivalent of $25 an hour in benefits with no one working.
  • In 19 states, benefits are equivalent to $100,000 a year in salary for a family of four with two unemployed parents.
  • In all but two of the blue states, $300 Supplemental Unemployment Insurance benefits plus other welfare pay more than the wage equivalent of a $15 minimum wage.
