After some Republican governors have taken the position of cutting federal unemployment support that granted the beneficiaries $ 300 Dollars in addition to state aid, of the same amount, in order to pressure citizens to get employment, now there are those who will take measures to encourage employment by making payments.

Therefore, state leaders from Connecticut, Oklahoma and Montana reconsidered their punitive stance compared to their other Republican counterparts and, now, are turning the situation around with direct payments that can go, depending on the place, of the $ 1, 000 dollars, up to $ 1, 200 to motivate its citizens to rejoin the vi gives work immediately.

So far it is known that each state will set its position and criteria for distributing employment incentives. For example, the Connecticut government reported that is willing to shell out $ 1, 000 Dollars to whoever is unemployed and is placed in a full-time job, in addition to said requirement, the beneficiary must keep his job for, at least eight weeks.

Oklahoma reported that it would provide payments of $ 1, 200 dollars at first 20, 000 citizens who rejoin the productive sector. This support would apply to those who have full-time jobs and keep them for six weeks. In this sense, the proposal of this state is more attractive than that offered by Connecticut.

Like Oklahoma, Montana announced that it will distribute a bond for $ 1, 200 dollars to Americans who return to work for a minimum period four weeks. Montana is the state that has the greatest flexibility when granting these supports that will encourage the widespread employment proposed by the Republican governments in these three states.

Despite this change of position in these three Republican states , most of the governors of that party continue in their position to cut federal unemployment benefits and, in some cases, state, leaving little margin for those who receive aid to return to work, arguing that There are a large number of vacancies available and that has generated a large deficit.

Although the rulers have said that the hiring is taking place in a massive way, those who are taking positions radicals, they are losing sight of the fact that this phenomenon is not becoming widespread in all sectors , because where the market is opening up are in the industries that t They have to do with service and commerce, mainly in retail stores.

However, governments that intend to abolish unemployment support and those that intend to give bonuses to Those who return to the world of work lose sight of the fact that many Americans , due to their profiles, are not fitting into the industries that are recovering , so that citizens who dedicate themselves, for example, to the manufacturing industry or education, Among others, they can be severely damaged.
