Agree there is a problem with un employment compensation, but do feel that there are other issues. Seems like most of the companies that are hiring are the low paying jobs. Over past several years can not tell you how many LARGE gas stations and restaurants have opened or/are being built in this area and other areas of Florida. When restaurants closed in 2020 a lot of their employees went to work in businesses like Amazon at $15 an hour with benefits and more regular business hours and have no incentive to go back to their former job. Changing the unemployment is a good start, but businesses will need to get more creative in hiring and retaining employees.
