Obviously the powers that be are looking at economic numbers (retails sales etc) besides who and how many are out of work. Back last spring everything was ready to fall off a cliff - a big cliff much bigger than the drop we actually had, because they printed lots of money and got it out into people's hands.So now we have many are home partying collecting about $4,500 per month + the stimulus checks while recruiters can't fill jobs that pay under $60k.
And now they are talking about ratcheting up the stimulus way up.
I wasn't for it then and feel the same this time ... except for the fact people and the economy suffered less then and now as well. Someday we will all pay for it. But it easy to point fingers at others if you are willing to live (now) with a financial collapse. Still doubt there are many jobs at any income level unfilled very long.
