A "high percentage" seems like a comical overstatement.
- dragonwriter 7y agoThe $600 boost was calculated because it takes the average recipient to full pay, so, yeah it's a high percentage. For high wage workers it's a smaller percentage, both because before the boost there is a benefit cap in most state formulas and because the $600 boost represents a smaller additional percentage, but most workers aren't high-wage workers.
