I can speak from personal experience
75%
Which means people that pitch jobs and training have a hard audience
But the missing part of the equation is wages lagging for 50 years behind cost of living
Offshoring and massive illegal immigration are big contributors to that fact
If American wages were paid- American workers would work
50 years of despising our blue collar sector and giving the work to foreigners -It needs to stop
1% of lazy bums- always have them with our without extra money.
A Yale report published in July, for example, found that the extra $600 is not the primary reason people are, or are not, working. Rather, the most important factor in whether people returned to work was the availability of jobs.
How many don't want to work and live on unemplyment
I know at least one person quite well where that is the case !!!
He is making more on unemployment with the $600 a week benefit so hopes he isn't called back to work !!!
That has ended but through Trump EO may be extended !!! Had a deal been reached he was expecting the benefit to be cut to around $300 !!!

A globalizing economy is going to favor those willing to adapt; those who formerly enjoyed an artificial advantage (as the United States did after World war II) aren't going to grow as rapidly (because they had an artificial head start).
And the new jobs emerging in a post industrial, service-oriented economy are likely to demand more personal attention; not attractive for the introverted -- or the person who just wants to get that aggressive junior supervisor, (or a long line of demanding, half-in-the-bag customers) off his/her back, and sees a union card as a ticket to the Workers' Paradise.

Aside from whether people want to return or not. The benefits should of been capped at the level people were earning, allowing people to earn more on unemployment than they were earning while working is just plain ridiculous.
