That\u2019s according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/morningconsult.com\/2021\/07\/14\/expiring-unemployment-insurance\/\">Morning Consult poll<\/a> released on Wednesday, which said nearly two million people specifically turned down work citing the higher unemployment benefits offered during the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>This comes as many states have struggled to fill jobs, with more than half of states opting to cut emergency benefits early. GOP lawmakers argued the various stimulus checks combined with increased unemployment benefits disincentivized people from searching for new jobs. Of the 26 states that have so far eliminated extra benefits, 25 have been led by Republican governors.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;A recent Morning Consult poll found that 13 percent of jobless respondents turned down a job offer because they receive enough money from unemployment insurance.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SNU9W3BiY0\">https:\/\/t.co\/SNU9W3BiY0<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7mUf5lBVgn\">https:\/\/t.co\/7mUf5lBVgn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Morning Consult (@MorningConsult) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MorningConsult\/status\/1415734550525845510?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Reports as of mid-June said just over 14 million adults were collecting benefits.
