I was looking for estimated numbers of people actually doing this. Your initial comment seemed to imply a very large number of people opting to remain on unemployment. I don't think that's true, given the current unemployment figures are near historical norms.

It’s true it’s getting easier as people see the deadline for the extra $300 unemployment to end in September and are getting worried but we’re still about double the unemployment pre pandemic. Plus with crazy amounts of government stimulus and low interest rates still pumping the economy, jobs are available and money is available. It’s not the best article but I did find below showing job openings are even higher than prepandemic levels while unemployment for some reason (because of the federal benefits I would say) is also higher. https://numbernomics.com/unemployment-vs-job-openings-2/ https://numbernomics.com/unemployment-vs-job-openings-2/
