Illinoisans Paid Almost As Much On Unemployment As At Work

• https://www.zerohedge.com by Bryce Hill

We've all seen the "help wanted" signs at businesses and social media posts asking us to be kind to those who did show up to work. With the vaccine readily available to anyone ages 12 and older, why are people hesitant to go back to work?

The answer, in part, lies in the benefits Illinoisans are receiving.

According to the Illinois Department of Employment Security, the average Illinoisan earns approximately $55,770 per year at work.

Meanwhile, the Illinois Policy Institute found if that person stayed home with their kids and collected unemployment, they could earn $51,627.
