Roadblocks

There needs to be a change in how will provide financial support to the unemployed. My belief is that most people would rather be gainfully employed than collect unemployment but our government has made a huge mess. Today, I called a candidate who was a solid match for a temporary job. With a rather frustrated tone to his voice, he declined for two reasons. First, his unemployment check pays him more than I could. Second, returning to the unemployment system after working for a few months is a nightmarish process. Someone needs to develop a process where the unemployment payments supplement earnings rather than replace them.
