While the enhanced benefits will expire nationwide in early September, states could opt out before then.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe number of workers paid benefits through regular state programs fell 13.8% by the week ended June 12 from mid-May \u2014 when many governors announced changes \u2014 in states saying that benefits would end in June, according to an analysis by Jefferies LLC economists,\u201d The Wall Street Journal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/americans-are-leaving-unemployment-rolls-more-quickly-in-states-cutting-off-benefits-11624786202\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a>.\u00a0 \u201cThat compares with a 10% decline in states ending benefits in July and a 5.7% decrease in states ending benefits in September. Workers on state programs would lose the $300 weekly federal enhancement but could continue receiving the state benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re starting to see a response to these programs ending,\u201d Aneta Markowska, Jefferies\u2019 chief financial economist, told the Journal. In recent months \u201cemployers were having to compete with the government handing out money, and that makes it very hard to attract workers,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>When the Biden administration announced the boost in benefits, many Republican governors agreed that they are not going to accept the $300 per week, saying it disincentivized workers from going back to work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe move to reject the extra money comes as new expert analyses show those who made $32,000 before COVID-19 hit are now making more in benefits staying at home and collecting than if they were to go back to work,\u201d The Daily Mail <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-9566303\/Residents-five-GOP-states-LOSE-enhanced-unemployment-Republican-governors-refused-it.html\">noted<\/a> in May. \u201cThe average U.S. salary for an individual in 2019 was $31,133. This means the average Americans could earn more money in coronavirus-era benefits instead of going back to work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Republican Gov. Henry McMaster of South Carolina decried the benefits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is about as close to socialism that I\u2019ve seen. We\u2019ve got help-wanted signs up everywhere, we get calls and letters, and texts from all sorts of businesses all across the state looking for people to work. People won\u2019t come to work because they\u2019re getting as much money or more in some cases by staying home. It\u2019s a counterproductive policy and I\u2019m afraid what the Biden administration is doing is that they\u2019re telling everybody that the virus is still rampant and still in great danger. Everybody has to stay home. That\u2019s not true. Go get a job, get back to work. That\u2019s how you build an economy and a family and everything else. The Biden proposals are totally underproductive, killing incentive, and it puts us right on the road to socialism. We\u2019ve got to stand up and fight against this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>McMaster tweeted, \u201cWe are currently facing a labor shortage created in large part by the supplemental unemployment payments that the federal government provides. Since the Biden Admin and Congress appear to have no comprehension of the damage being done, the State of South Carolina must take action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
