@wwwojtekk At this point we need a federal mandate to raise state taxable wage bases for UI taxes (current 7k minimum hasn't changed since 1983)
English
@wwwojtekk And because COVID claims were forgiven there's not even a way for CA to raise these funds through experience rating! Should have used ARPA funds to repay their UI debt, which many other states did to repay their loans...
English
The systemic problem here is that the tax base for UI in California is ridiculous - up to $7,000 annually. Any changes in rates load on low-wage employers. The less ridiculous aspect is that if you lay off a lot of workers (like restaurants do, probably), you pay higher rates
Chef Andrew Gruel@ChefGruel
We just ran payroll. The payroll taxes were 2K higher than calculated. We called the payroll company. They explained (in summary) that California has a budget shortfall, and the federal government wants money back that it lent California for UI that it "lost." They are making up for it by having business owners pay it. Keep in mind that it was around 10% of our total payroll. When people say, "Why isn't California business-friendly?" remember this.

Just published in @JPubEcon:
"Payroll tax incidence: Evidence from unemployment insurance"

@jm0rt @besttrousers @RyanRadia @kpomerleau Yep, incidence on wages is less likely with employer-specific taxes (which UI is), although my research has found that tax hikes still affect workers through lower employment
English
Interesting thread, but it could cause some confusion.
UI taxes are payroll taxes. Legal burden on businesses, but economic burden on workers.
A higher UI payroll tax would fall on workers, not businesses.
Alissa@alissa_brie
Let’s talk about why CA has UI debt The fundamental problem is that businesses haven’t been paying the true cost of unemployment benefits for their workers for decades An explainer…

. @amguoo presents on who bears the burden of taxes to fund unemployment benefits.
Findings:
—Higher UI taxes do not lead to reduced earnings
—Higher UI taxes do lead to reductions in new hiring by the firm

@ChloeEast2 It's much better defined in the 2014 and later panels, but for the earlier panels I've used epropb1 and epropb2!

Anyone willing to share how you have measured self-employment in the SIPP? Thanks!

Got a scam/spam text today from someone impersonating my dept chair. Now that's a new one...
Referring to me (and themselves) as Professor was what gave it away😂
