Extended unemployment has already been eliminated in many states and that had no effect. This might be an opportunity to review why these ideas about labor markets appear not to match what actually happens.

  Ending the extended unemployment benefits only reduces the weekly unemployment payment. In my state that was an extra $300/week. Our Governor got rid of that, but the labor shortage remains.
