WSJ Your Money Briefing · Lawmakers Consider Incentives to Get People Back to Work · 3 Jun 2021 podcast

We've seen hiring really pick up.

The unemployment rate has come way down.

We know that employers are hiring.

We see these record job openings.

We don't need these extra payments to be so generous.

If people want a job, they can find one.

So Democrats, on the flip side, are saying, look –

people are still worried many people about getting sick possibly even though vaccinations are picking up but they're saying that could be a major reason also a lot of people are still out of work because they don't have child care for their children i mean schools have reopened but in a number of places it's not fully reopened or daycares are not back to their full normal operating hours and so the biden administration has said look this is this is temporary we expect that over the summer

And in the fall, when schools reopen, hiring will pick up again.

And this won't be as much of an issue.

Right.

There have been some proposals introduced.

And it's interesting because, as we were just saying, the debate has kind of centered around the 300.

Should it stay or should it go?

But beneath the surface, there's interesting conversations about, OK, how can we get workers to come back?

So Republicans in Congress and at the state level have proposed.

in a number of places hiring bonuses.

So offering people $1,000 one-time payment to take a job.

And we've seen some companies start to do that, but I think that it's interesting that then one idea would be to have the federal government do it.

At the state level, some states are actually using the money that they got from the $1.9 trillion COVID relief package.
