The "incentive" for not working, for employees, is not as valuable as the incentive to find a replacement job or hope for your old job back.

Not correct regarding losing unemployment. The stimulus bill changed the normal rules for collecting unemployment. It allows employees to quit their job and still collect unemployment. Many employers have complained that they wanted to keep paying their employees, but the employees would rather collect unemployment because they are getting more money to not work. So, it is hard for an employer to compete when the Government offers more pay to not work.
