DeSantis says Floridians receiving unemployment benefits will need to start looking for work again
Fox News
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis this week said those residents receiving unemployment benefits will soon be required once again to show proof they’re looking for a job.
By March of this year, Florida's unemployment rate was lower than 5%. "I think it’s pretty clear now, we have an abundance of job openings." "Normally when you’re getting unemployment, the whole idea is that’s temporary, and you need to be looking for work to be able to get off unemployment," DeSantis said at a news conference, the news service reported. "It was a disaster [at the beginning of the pandemic], so we suspended those job search requirements. I think it’s pretty clear now, we have an abundance of job openings."More Related News
