US Labor Sec just on cnbc

Jobs miss today was HUGE

Last months jobs revised down

Asked, point blank, does this correlate to the extra stimulus and unemployment benefits acting as a disincentive to work?

WALSH: No, in fact I think we need more unemployment. We're dealing with regional economic pandemics still, schools closed and various mandates.



Well ok Walsh...which political party is keeping States closed and who is beholden to the teachers union?

Fukkin clown in complete CYA mode for the administration...just denying the truth, fact, the common sense.

Disgusting to watch your executive branch spin like this on national TV and absolutely zero media follow up.

It is a big problem when people can make just as much, if not more, to do nothing than to work

this excuse of not working that many use right now is not fair to those who have been back at work now for at least a year since the initial shutdown

Ben Franklin quoted:

If you make poverty comfortable, then you are bound to have many impoverished.

Fatty my course, the superintendent staff is Down to 6 workers! (From a high of 20 in 2019). Minimum wage in NJ is $12 an hour. We are offering $16. Still nothing.

SC and Montana already stopping the extra benefit, they need people to get back to work.

We can’t hire anyone. Government benefits have them sitting on their asses.
