Jobs

Many people who might otherwise be opposed to public assistance found it acceptable with the Covid relief because it was the government who ordered people not to go to work so the government should compensate these people. One of the ways suggested to do this and spur economic growth was in two approaches. Either offer government jobs to those who are unemployed or just sent them a government check, something called universal income. The second method discourages work as was seen during the last Covid relief when people were earning more money on unemployment than they could get by working so many chose not to work. If you are working for the government you are staying active and available to companies when the economy improves. The government job should pay a minimum like $15 per hour so when the private sector opens up these government workers will be encourage to move to private jobs. In both cases the payments are helping the economy to recover.
