Montana will cut off federal unemployment benefits nearly three months early and offer “Return to Work Bonuses” as a favor to employers, Gov. Greg Gianforte (R) announced Tuesday.
Gianforte said he hears “from too many employers throughout our state who can’t find workers” and added that the state’s suffering from a “labor shortage” made worse by the benefits.
Starting June 27, Montana workers will lose the extra $300 per week the federal government has been paying since December. The state will also cancel federal benefits for gig workers and the long-term jobless.
Montana is the only state saying it will forgo federal benefits, which are scheduled to expire in September, though it’s possible Congress could extend them again. It’s also possible other states could follow Montana’s lead.
To say that the COVID-19 pandemic has taken a toll on the hospitality industry would be an understatement. And while a recovery is underway and restaurants work to resume in-person dining, many business owners are struggling to staff back up. Right-wing media have seized on these new stories to fit an old “welfare queen” narrative about greedy employees and excessive government intervention.
According to the National Restaurant Association, more than 110,000 restaurants and bars more than one in every six restaurants nationwide had closed by December as a result of the pandemic. Nearly 2.5 million jobs were lost, and the industry fell $240 billion short of pre-COVID-19 revenue projections.
