Arizona has decided not to extend jobless benefits. This is very controversial. I know many companies hiring right now that are having a hard time filling positions or keeping employees. They are beginning level jobs that will pay more than the $240 they get from unemployment. Its not fancy work but at least its a job and they are back in the work force and doing something productive. I have heard people say that jobs are beneth them so they will keep their unemployment as long as possible. I guess I just don't get why you would not want to at least get back out in the work force and start making connections to do bigger and better things. It will not be great for everyone but stopping the extended benefits may make people take those jobs and start doing something in life again.
