As to 2) "broadly" I don't think there's a bunch of people out there "choosing" not to work. Even if we believe there's all those jobs out there at Amazon, Walmart, your local grocer, and Domino's, that's still a drop in the bucket considering where unemployment numbers are.
Not yet. It hasn't reached the point of having a choice for most, but when it does I doubt many are going to give up $900/wk to return to a $500/wk job.
This is the absurdity of the government stimulus.. one of the many absurdities I must say... these workers were upset to be saved by stimulus because their upgraded unemployment was more than their current pay!!!

Dude, I've multi-post rebuttal argument on this theory. I don't know why it continues to live. If your employer calls you back into work, you cannot refuse to come back and still collect unemployment.
Here's a thread on the Unemployment Forum talking about this very thing:
Well, we could talk about what any programmer could do except many of these states are using such ancient computer language that they can't even find people who know how to program it.
Then how can they add $600? The point is, if you can add $600 you can conditionally add $600.
So, while it may be true that there are supposed to be those exceptions for the federal money, if states aren't providing the same exceptions, you're then not eligible for state money making you not eligible for the federal money.
You don't seem to realize that it's all federal money, even the part the state doles out. All state UI agencies operate under Dept of Labor requirements and no state gets to reject federal exceptions they don't like. That's why every state is now providing standard UI not just the $600 supplement to contractors and self-employed.

I suppose you could be right, although my link to FLDOE FAQ's that I posted seems to say otherwise.
