Watching a Daily Show segment from last night about hospitality companies having difficulties finding workers. So I got to thinking — the GOP says the extra $300 a week for the unemployed is a disincentive to work. Fine, let’s use that money as an incentive then. Many hospitality jobs are hard and don’t pay well - especially when women have to factor in childcare and decide they can’t afford to work. So what if we took those already allocated Federal funds and directed it to people who get jobs? Call it bonus payments.
It’s time to take the fight to those GOP governors who are cutting off funds in the mistaken belief that it is holding people back from getting jobs. Let’s see them get out of something that both helps hospitality workers and gets people back to work!
