What Does Biden Consider a “Suitable” Wage?
The Chamber of Commerce and Biden administration want people working, but neither are talking about paying them more to go back.
Here in the United States, job growth in the month of April was much slower than those in Washington D.C. expected. Apparently, the issue has become such a concern that the Chamber of Commerce took the step of writing to the Biden administration expressing their frustration, and suggesting that the added $300 unemployment benefits should be stopped because one in four Americans were making more on unemployment than they were at work. Biden appears to sympathize with their position.
While the President said he doesn’t see evidence that the added benefits are a major factor, Biden also made sure to state that:
“We’re going to make it clear that anyone collecting unemployment who is offered a suitable job must take the job or lose their unemployment benefits.”
Well then, what would the President who abandoned the $15 minimum wage, and giving the lowest income Americans a raise they haven’t had in 12 years define as a a “suitable” job?
