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.
