Friday morning’s jobs report, which indicates that the U.S. economy added 266,000 jobs in April, was a dud compared both to the number of jobs added in March (916,000) and the number widely forecast by economists (975,000). Some see Friday’s disappointing figure as the result of predictable policy failures.
“We’ve been warning about this for six months,” said Stephen Moore, a senior economic contributor at Freedom Works and founder of the Club for Growth.
“The economy is strong right now, businesses are in good shape,” said Moore. “These numbers are the result of the huge incentive that is paying people not to work.”
Since last year, federal and state governments have been supplying enhanced unemployment benefits for those initially hit by the economic collapse triggered by the pandemic. But now, those benefits may be discouraging workers from returning to jobs that can’t offer compensation packages attractive enough to competitive with generous, no-strings government payments.
“One step policymakers should take now is ending the $300 weekly supplemental unemployment benefit,” said Neil Bradley, the executive vice president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
“Based on the Chamber’s analysis, the $300 benefit results in approximately one in four recipients taking home more in unemployment than they earned working,” Bradley told The Hill.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
