Unraveling the Unemployment Insurance Lifeline with George Wentworth, Staff Attorney, National Employment Law Project
At a time when U.S. corporations are stockpiling cash, itâs outrageous that state lawmakers have the audacity to make jobless workers pay for decades of irresponsible business tax breaks that ultimately undermined state unemployment insurance finances. But, corporate lobbyists have ushered through legislative measures, behind closed doors and with no public debate, of cuts to state unemployment insurance programs when more people are out of work for longer than any other period in generations. We have better wakeup and smell the coffee, realize the consequences of what will be drastic measures before our unemployment benefits are no longer there when we need them.
