Job searches are up in states that opted out of Joe Biden’s unemployment benefits. With today’s ALG Minute, I’m Catherine Mortensen. The employment website Indeed has found that people began searching for jobs more in states that decided to opt out of the federal government’s expanded unemployment benefits. Indeed found that search activity grew in the days after states made the announcement about ending the programs and increased across several sectors. A state’s share of national clicks, on average, was up between 3% and 4% from the day of the announcement to three days later. Tourism, hospitality, sales, and marketing saw the greatest increases, although search activity also rose among career paths not typically associated with lower wages, such as banking, finance, and the medical field. The national average of statewide unemployment insurance prior to the pandemic was $387 per week. With Biden’s pandemic bonus unemployment, those same workers are now netting $687 per week on average. That is more than double the federal minimum wage. For more, check us out at the DailyTorch.com.
