It's true that the average minimum wage worker will likely receive more money though employment than they earned working.
Keep in mind the the extra $600.00 is only through July 31st (12 weeks) then the worker are back to normally unemployment. Also I read unemployment has been extended to 36 weeks.
One last thought. The $600.00 is partly meant to help stimulate the economy. If people have a little extra to spend they spend it, which is good for all of us. We need to keep businesses open and people employed when this is over.
