On Saturday, nine states will join Iowa, Mississippi and Missouri in ending their pandemic-related unemployment benefits early in an effort to encourage people to go back to work.

CBS News reported these states are Alabama, Alaska, Idaho, Indiana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, West Virginia and Wyoming.

And by the end of July, an additional 14 states will join them in eliminating or modifying the federal bonus.

Of the 26 states going this route, only one has a Democratic governor: Louisiana.

I take it that TX is among those 26 states. A DU member is whining that she might have to take a job ar lower than her pre-Covid wage to avoid losing her “unemployment” $$. Having taken a job with a 17% wage decrease during the Dot-Bomb recession, I’m less than sympathetic.
