42% of US jobs pay less than $15 hour


Which begs the question - why go back to work if you make more unemployed under the CARES Act?

Some Republican lawmakers warned about this unintended consequence of the relief bill when it was being drafted, noting that $600 a week amounts to $15 an hour, more than twice the federal minimum wage. That’s in addition to state unemployment benefits, which vary widely, from a maximum of $235 per week in Mississippi to $795 per week in Massachusetts.

What will remain of small business in America when all the hoopla is through?
