    Default Amid COVID surge, states that cut benefits still see no hiring boost

    States cutting the extra $300 a month federal unemployment benefit, did not see an increase in employment?!!

    WASHINGTON, Sept 17 (Reuters) - The August slowdown in U.S. job creation hit harder in states that pulled the plug early on enhanced federal unemployment benefits, places where an intense summertime surge of coronavirus cases may have held back the hoped-for job growth.

    New state-level data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed the group of mostly Republican led states that dropped a $300 weekly unemployment benefit over the summer added jobs in August at less than half the pace of states that retained the benefits.

    They got to punish poor people. That gives them great pleasure.

    Florida missing out on millions of dollars in federal aid for childhood hunger

    Florida has “made no effort” to apply for $820 million in pandemic SNAP benefits intended to help more than 2 million low-income children have enough to eat during the summer, making it one of only a handful of states ignoring the program, advocates said Tuesday.
