GOP governors in more than two dozen states decided to end the extra benefits programs early as businesses struggled to hire new employees.<\/p>\n<p>In several states, residents were offered more than $600 per week in additional funds. On Sunday, a June jobs report showed a large increase of people have reentered the workforce, which expanded by nearly 150,000 employed people in June.<\/p>\n<p>Experts also attributed the success of red states, including Florida and Texas, to leaders\u2019 decision to rollback coronavirus restrictions and reopen businesses to full capacity. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) cited data backing the benefit of discontinuing the enhanced unemployment benefits.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u2193 TX Unemployment rate DOWN to 6.5% in May 2021.<br \/>Over 1,000,000 more employed people in Texas since last year.
