MIAMI, FLORIDA – MARCH 05: A ‘we are hiring’ sign in front of a store on March 05, 2021 in Miami, Florida. The restaurant is looking to hire more workers as the U.S. unemployment rate drops to 6.2 percent, as many restaurants and bars reopen. Officials credit the job growth to declining new COVID-19 cases and broadening vaccine immunization that has helped more businesses reopen with greater capacity. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)

Until June 30, Maine is offering people who are part of state unemployment assistance programs $1,500 if they seek full-time employment that pays under $25 an hour and work for eight consecutive weeks.
The program looks a lot like one that has been in place since May in New Hampshire and is meant to propel at least some of 37,000 eligible people into the workforce, according to Heather Johnson, the commissioner of Maine s Department of Economic and Community Development.
