Governor Doug Ducey announced a new plan Thursday to get Arizonans back to work. Ducey says the state will no longer be taking the $300 Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation, and instead offer a one-time bonus to returning workers, along with child care support, educational opportunities and rental assistance. The state will offer a $2,000 Back to Work bonus for full-time eligible workers, and $1,000 for part-time workers, with a goal of getting as many Arizonans as possible to rejoin the workforce by Labor Day. To qualify for the bonus, a person must have already filed for unemployment benefits, must also make $25 and hour or less at their new job and must start working by Labor Day. The state will stop taking federal money on Saturday, July 10th.

No More Free Money From Federal Unemployment Programs For Idaho
Lately there has been so much talk about the unemployment rate and about why there are so many jobs available and not enough people interested in filling those jobs.
