TUCSON (KVOA) - Many employers across Southern Arizona have had a tough time filling open positions.
Some say it is because of federal safety nets. In some cases, staying on federal unemployment would pay more than getting a traditional job. I m joining several other governors across the country moving now it s the third stage will no longer be taking federal money for supplemental unemployment benefits, Ducey said. Effective July 10, Arizona will not be paying the federal supplement the unemployed workers. Rather than paying people not to work, we will be offering a one-time bonus of $2,000 to any eligible Arizona who returns to the workforce and gets a job, he said.
