As federal unemployment assistance continues to keep some workers from coming back to work after COVID-19 sent them home, employers and the agencies which help to fill positions at some of their facilities are hoping efforts to wean them off of such assistance will help them out.
For example, in Idaho, Gov. Brad Little has reinstated job search requirements to continue receiving unemployments, which had previously been suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On May 11, he announced the end of Idahoâs participation in all federal pandemic unemployment assistance programs as of June 19, stating, âWe do not want people on unemployment. We want people working. A strong economy cannot exist without workers returning to a job.â
