That job currently offered at @16 an hour would in normal times pay half that or less. Now if they gave up their UC and went back to work there's nothing that can stop that employer from cutting that wage in half two weeks later leaving them worse off than before. And as long as the GOP holds the US Senate the federal minimum wage is going nowhere. UC on the other hand while it won't last forever it is however guaranteed money so they've decided to take the guaranteed money for as long as it lasts and take their chances after their claim is exhausted.</p></blockquote><p></p>
