Employers are struggling to find employees and many say the current unemployment benefits are to blame. Due to the pandemic, the federal government is giving an extra $300 a week in addition to the normal unemployment benefits. Professor Emeritus Don Dutkowsky says, “I want to see what happens in August and September when the unemployment benefits go off because you will see people looking for and accepting jobs.” Dutkowsky was interviewed for the CNY Central story, "CNY economic experts weigh in on the ways to bring people back to the workforce."
