Wisconsin Republicans want to end $300 unemployment bonus
Wisconsin Republicans want to end the federal unemployment supplement, which they said Tuesday hurts businesses that are struggling to fill vacancies.
MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsin Republicans want to end the $300-per-week federal unemployment supplement, which they said Tuesday hurts businesses that are struggling to fill vacancies as customers return amid a loosening of coronavirus restrictions.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) unveiled a bill to get rid of the unemployment add-on. Wisconsin Democrats said it would be reckless and could slow down the recovery.
Vos said businesses were not just competing with one another now, but also the couch because the higher unemployment benefits make people unmotivated to find a job.
