“More than 5 million people won’t get the $300 unemployment boost right now” by Greg Iacurci


 KEY POINTS

  • “32 states had received federal approval to offer an extra $300 a week in unemployment benefits as of 12 noon ET on Wednesday. 
  • About 5.5 million workers are currently receiving unemployment insurance or Pandemic Unemployment Assistance in the states that haven’t yet gotten approval.
  • Meanwhile, many eviction protections are gone, an aid program for small businesses ended and jobs are hard to find.”
