@Bitcorn4eva Our website has valuable resources and there are still a plethora of issues facing people who were unemployed during the pandemic and independent contractors / others not normally eligible for UI.

It's 2 years into this mismanaged pandemic and people who are, or were, unemployed through no fault of their own are still feeling the hits, making recovery after programs ended prematurely even more difficult. cnbc.com/2022/04/04/man…

Congress has no problem collecting additional taxes from independent contractors, but not a peep about making them eligible for Unemployment Insurance. #ExtendPUA #FixUI
Stephanie@Stephpf

Instead of taxing the rich, @POTUS & Congress went after average Americans trying to hustle including: -Airbnb hosts making just $600/year (previously a $20,000 threshold). -People who sell things over Venmo/Paypal/Etsy (mostly makers & artists) Really? That's the problem?

"The unemployment rate for Black workers (7.1%) remained more than twice as high as the rate for white workers (3.2%)-a result of structural racism that policy changes have not been transformative enough to uproot.

"When you account for workers who are marginally attached to the labor force and those who are employed part-time for economic reasons — a more comprehensive measure of the unemployment rate — unemployment was 7.3 percent." @Groundwork

the same politicians who say "people can't afford to miss work because of the pandemic" are also not interested in making sure those workers can afford to miss work

@WHCOS This is not the flex the White House is pretending it is. Millions of Americans are no longer ELIGIBLE to file for unemployment because of expired pandemic programs and maxed out weeks. Businesses are closing again & there's zero safety net for workers.

Another sign of strength for our economy as more Americans get back to work, and as we build on the momentum of this year's economic recovery. This time last year, 823k Americans were filing new jobless claims each week on average, now those are down over 75% to under 200k:

BREAKING: First-time unemployment filings fell by 8,000 claims from the previous week’s reading, marking the second-lowest point during the pandemic and signaling continued recovery in the labor market as high demand for workers pours into the new year yhoo.it/3HkFUtq

A year ago this week, almost 800,000 Americans filed for unemployment. Today, that number is below 200,000, a level not reached since 1969.

@Goddess_Moon @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems @POTUS Trump didn't create any of those programs. Congress created them when faced with an unprecedented event with panic. Now they've politicized the virus and returned to prioritizing the rich and corporations instead of the people.

They won't lock down or shut down precisely because they don't want to talk about the nothing that government would do for workers in that situation. AND YET restaurants, shows, & businesses are still having to close their doors. & there's no help for the affected workers.
Emily Stewart@EmilyStewartM

if you are gonna start talking about lockdowns and shutdowns may i also suggest you start talking about what the government does for the workers and businesses that are fucked in that equation.

Yike! If you lost work and March 2020 and went back to work on July 2021, you would be ineligible for state #UI if you lost work and filed in the 4th quarter of 2021 due to Omicron closures #Unemployment
The Century Foundation@TCFdotorg

If you collected unemployment benefits earlier in the pandemic and have lost work due to Omicron, your current eligibility for UI may depend on how much you worked in between lapses. More from @GregIacurci and @pelhamprog: cnbc.com/2021/12/17/omi…
