Shame on the government for allowing the dole to continue when jobs are plentiful

With reference to the article about state and federal unemployment and pandemic relief funds,  isn’t it a shame that there are hundreds of thousands  receiving unemployment and pandemic relief when businesses throughout the state are desperately seeking workers full time!!

But the government pays people more to stay home than they might earn being gainfully employed.

Perhaps an easy decision for those on the dole; but, shame on the government for allowing this to continue when jobs are plentiful.
