Average unemployment check will be $750 - 1k PER WEEK. Why would any entry level worker continue to work? You can simply quit / stop going to work and claim “safety concerns” over COVID and get more than you’re probably making at your job. Anyone can claim this regardless of how many hours they work.
>grocery workers, nurses, etc., are “essential” >oh btw, we’re giving everyone except grocery workers, nurses, etc., $1k per week so fuck you
Grocery stores would have to start paying entry level workers $40+ an hour to compete. This will absolutely fuck all businesses other than Amazon-Whole-Foods and others that can financially compete with the Federal government. They’re trying to destroy all small businesses, get all entry level workers out of the work force, then in a month when they turn off the crisis, all the businesses will be insolvent and and entry level market will be absolutely flooded leaving millions upon millions of people unemployed and with no money. Then they will bring in some kind of UBI with a requirement that you get a vaccine and ID2020 or some shit. This shit stinks to fucking high heaven.
Gotta drain the unemployment slush funds as quickly as possible. Part of the swamp.

People on middle.management aren't going to cancel their careers over some pocket change and lose their shot at becoming a supervisor. Dumbfuck OP neet.

This is just a severance package for when they eventually get cut off completely. See Trump is bringing in more foreign workers through the H1B who will eventually take over. Everything is falling into place, just wait and see.
Connor Reed
Everyone is getting it not just you. So those workers get paid in addition to that.
Ayden Sanchez
This will have no effect on employer funded unemployment funds. It's just $600 directly from the Fed printing press.
WRONG. Everyone gets a 1 time $1,200 payment that will possibly be made monthly for a couple months depending on how things play out. This is $600 WEEKLY on top of what is already offered by employer funded unemployment funds and is only for the UNEMPLOYED. They are basically bribing every entry level worker in the country to quit their job.
Correct. People at entry level will. Exactly as I explained.

You must be LAID OFF, not fired, not quit to collect unemployment. Jesus, 90% of you people in here are literal morons with no understanding of how the world works.
Evan Torres
That's not how unemployment works. You can't just quit and then claim unemployment. You have to be laid off. If you try to claim it when you purposefully quit or were fired for your faults of your own. Doing so is illegal and the company can come after you; furthermore, the State does an investigation before approving you to ensure you're not trying to rip them off. To boot, almost all states have a minimum number of hours you must work for the company to be eligible.
Based off your state these benefits will only last so long as well and you'll be required to likely go to meetings, job fairs, and show you are putting an effort at getting a job or they will kick you off.
Cooper Martin
Sure you are... n most states, seasonal workers do not qualify to draw unemployment benefits. Workers who work only certain times during the year are not considered full-time employees. They are not afforded the same benefits and compensation as full-time employees in most states.
Mason Martin
Good, now is not the time for hobby projects like small business. What we need now is national socialism. We must build the industrial might to destroy China once and for all. When all is well, we can have a nice, comfy classical liberal free society again.
explain more about claiming 'safety concerns' and how i, as a factory worker not laid off, can claim it

You can't get unemployment if you quit.
Luke Lee
Are you implying these checks will last forever? We literally don't want people to work right now.
Brandon Phillips
Because unemployment is temporary.
Xavier Ortiz
I didnt quit, I am just not going back. Lol Pay up wagie!
Jordan Lopez
yep, as i figured, it's not possible. probably not in 90% of states
Aaron Martinez
well said but economy was fake all along
Wyatt Powell
It doesn't work that way, moron. that is called voluntary termination, same as quitting.
Aaron Reed
Wrong. It’s still income based. If you weren’t making $750/week before you got laid off, you won’t be getting it from unemployment either.
I do worry though about them extending it out to four goddam months. I really doubt this crisis will last that long, but people’s desire to not start job hunting certainly will.
Hunter Cox
Ah yes, should have thought about it before paying people unlivable wages to begin with, boohoo, now the whole economy will be ruined because some greedy hoarders couldn't stand the thought of ""losing"" a few extra pennies (read, actually paying what labor is really worth)
Easton Allen
This is why it should be fucking universal and not means tested. How many times do we need to explain this? Means testing just incentivizes lazy behavior.
Christopher Powell
I couldn’t stand to not work, but I’m still jealous.

This thing is going to drastically reshape everything we do.
Gavin Diaz
That has nothing to do with you not qualifying for unemployment. Your story is bullshit. You worked part-time and "seasonal," so if you do qualify, it would be for 25% of your hourly pay (NOT UNREPORTED TIPS). Plus, if you don't go back to work, the restaurant and state will come collect whatever you did get. But have fun in your delusion.
Parker Ward
I still work, I am a very busy body. Have a hobby farm, welp I won't be doing farmers market any more but i am in full self reliance mode. Still got snow on the ground but spending lots of time in my green houses with my daughter.
Economically speaking this virus will change us. I don't care about selling hanging baskets of flowers to boomers any more, now I care about how i will maximize my potatoe yields this year. Just roll with the punches.
So now that the bill is signed when does this extra unemployment actually show up
Owen Bailey
Why are all communist retards so economically illiterate. If you took the job at x dollars per hour, that’s what your labor was worth. It doesn’t matter what you faggots think is fair. There are economic restraints that dictate a positions value. A doctor for example makes on average around $250k annually because they are very hard to replace and many people want to pay lots of money for their services. A stock boy’s entire skill set consists of putting a can on the right shelf and can literally be replaced by an actual fucking monkey. The revenue contributed to the company’s bottom line from their labor probably doesn’t even break even with the cost of hiring and managing them. And there are literally 100K illegals a month pouring across the southern border who are happy to replace them for less.
Low skill jobs are entry level positions for kids with no financial responsibilities. There were never designed to support 35yo stoner faggots who fucked around in their 20s rather than developing actual useful career skills that other actual adults with actual money want to pay for.
Jaxson Parker
>the State does an investigation before approving you to ensure you're not trying to rip them off.
This is not entirely true, I'm accountant, and my last job I did HR work too, basically the state will send a letter to the company when an employee files for unemployment benefits, no matter if they were fired or laid off, it is then up to the company to fight the claim or not. My company never did because we were too busy to deal with more government paperwork and in person meetings. I imagine a lot of small businesses are like this. Unless the company actually takes the time to fight a claim, you will get approved no matter if you were fired, quit, etc..
Robert Miller
Hope you’ve got a canner, dehydrator, and a smoker lined up too.
Kayden Morgan
>If you try to claim it when you purposefully quit or were fired for your faults of your own. Doing so is illegal and the company can come after you Wrong. You can, and people do, regularly, stop going to work over "safety concerns" and receive unemployment. COVID is a legitimate safety concern (at least in the eyes of the state).
Correct. That has no effect on the state of affairs described in the original post. Entry level workers have nothing to lose by quitting because they are on the bottom rung and can resume work at the same level when they are no longer able to claim benefits.
WRONG. You will get the minimum payment form the state (dependent on state, probably around $120) and then EVERYONE is being given an additional $600 from the federal government regardless of wages.
Luis Mitchell
Oh no wouldn’t be the worst thing ever if working people got a little extra! Somebody think of the kikes and their bullshit system first! If the average Joe gets a dollar more than he should, Schlomo is gonna starve!

* you will get the minimum (if your wages are below a certain threshold)...
Lincoln Robinson
>destroying small businesses and making Amazon the only option for every entry level worker in the country is bad for jews Howfucking low IQ is Yas Forums at this point? DO you not understand? You will get muh extra dollar cup o joe workin man glug glug for a few months, then you will be unable to get work in the new economy in two months when they shut off the crisis and every small business in the country that depends on entry level work has been destroyed.
Easton Nguyen

Luke Gomez
>bullshit hypotheticals Everybody is going to be out of work except for wagecucks stocking shelves for minimum wage. Deal with it NEET. Btw you don't get unemployment if you quit dumbass, and usually don't get it even when you are fired.
Anthony Rogers
>be business >pay peasant wage >no body wants to work for you Get fucked bitch, if you were better at business you wouldn't go bankrupt
Christopher Ortiz
Not bullshit. If you worked very little, say, substantially less than 20 hrs/wk, you would get your state's minimum unemployment whatever that is + an automatic $600 from the federal government.
Bentley Torres

Jackson Thomas
Has a bill passed that extends unemployment insurance yet though? Back in 2008-2010 it got extended out for a long time and people rode it until the very end. Right now a lot of states are capped at 26 weeks.
Luis Perez
How is an independent grocery store, pet store, etc., supposed to pay shelf stockers $40+/hour? How would "being better at business" make that possible?
>How is an independent grocery store, pet store, etc., supposed to pay shelf stockers $40+/hour? How would "being better at business" make that possible? Be better at business, if you fail because you are shit at it thats the free market in action
Ethan Lopez
Most of us will have jobs to come back to. I've been assured that both of the places I worked will still be there, one's been going since the great depression, they can handle closing down for a bit. When this is over, people will be flooding sit down restaurants, eager to get out of the house and back to life as normal, and I'll be cooking their meals. My other job at a brewery may start up again sooner than later, the head brewer is figuring out how to convert to making hand sanitizer in the meantime, if that works well enough he said he'll call me for help.

Julian Reyes
Not true, if you are fired with no warning or the company has a progressive discipline policy and they dont follow it, you will be eligible. I had a boss fire me because I told him his equipment was grossly unsafe and that I wasnt going to risk my life. I was fired the next day and had to have 3 hearing calls with a benefits judge because that cunt said I damaged equipment and was habitually late. When the judge asked for any previous repremands or warnings and they said I had none, they ruled in my favor immediately.
Logan Butler

Jordan Wilson
The Chinese Corona Virus isn't a legitimate safety concern. If you quit an essential business you will get no sympathy from the state. Maybe if you are an old boomer with pre-existing conditions, but even then the company usually will let you stay home for a while.
Aiden Torres
Again, if your company does not bother to fight a claim you will get unemployment benefits. Some companies will actually go to in person meetings, and phone calls and such to fight a claim, but the majority of small business do not have the time to deal with that. I think over the course of 2 years I was helping out with HR we had 5 or 6 people fired for cause, and we never bothered to contest their unemployment claims, so they all got paid.
William Edwards
>mfw I smoke weed all day, hang out with a 2 year old, get to make delicious meals for the family and play about 7 hours of classic wow a night Imagine being this fucking terrible of a father. But I guess it's Tyrone's kid anyways so a shitty step-father is better than no father.
Colton Sullivan
Oh and what's even funnier is that while you are collecting a notice in the mail will be sent to your former employer showing how much you are getting paid each week in benefits after the fact when it is too late for the employer to contest the claim. I remember our owner was in my office one day and he saw the mail and he was like " hey, why is that guy collecting, I thought we fired him?" I was like ummm did you fight his claim? Owner was like, was I supposed to do that?
Jose Anderson
I don't see how it's any different from pounding a couple of brews and hanging out with your kid, which every dad since forever does.
