Extra $600 in unemployment benefits doesn't keep people from working, analysis finds

Summary: One big reason critics don’t want to extend the coronavirus unemployment benefits is they’re worried the extra $600 per week will keep Americans from returning to work.

The findings could help bolster the case that the jobless aid created under the CARES Act and is set to expire at the end of the month should be extended.
