In Texas, unemployment pays a maximum about 50% of what you were making.

At present, there is a $300 per week bonus from the Federal government. Anyone making about $32K can take unemployment and make about the same money as working.

From the $1.9T bill, there will be $400 extra per week until August.

In Texas, a person making $40Kper year, you will make "full pay" for 6 months sitting at home. Anyone who makes less than $40K, will be making "more" with unemployment.

My dentist is having trouble finding people to work, since the workers may make more "at home" than working.
