The $3,200 in stimulus provided over the course of a year is not “a lot of money” anywhere in the US. And since it’s the equivalent of $1.50/hour for a full time worker for the year it’s certainly not enough to discourage anyone from working.
- j0ba 5y agoWe're talking about unemployment benefits, not stimulus money.
- elliekelly 5y agoIf that’s the case then surely you’ll excuse the misunderstanding since “money in stimulus” is an unusual (and somewhat misleading) way for someone to say “unemployment benefits”.
