Illinois may pay bonuses to get workers to take jobs again – Illinois Policy

The idea is to give a lump-sum payment to Illinoisans for returning to work. Similar programs in Arizona, Montana, New Hampshire and Oklahoma offer residents about $1,000 for getting a job. In contrast, 26 have suspended, or plan an early end to the $300 weekly federal unemployment supplement.

So the state will give bonuses to work while at the same time they compete with the Feds who will pay you not to work. Makes sense now.

Free money for the lazy people! JB is an idiot. Stop providing the unemployed with incentives to stay on the sidelines.

“Free money for the lazy people.” It worked just fine for the Gov.
