My area too - what are people living on? the unemployment bonus was over last Sept. The Covid award for kids was over in December. I can't understand it. The food stamp 'bonuses' concluded this month (April).
Good question. I don't have an answer but nearly everywhere I go there are signs for help wanted. Restaurants where I live survive mainly on summer season tourism. Several of them closed a few years ago and the remaining ones are always hiring. Is there some secret revenue the unemployed get? Again, no idea. Also many of the seasonal businesses hire kids from Eastern European countries, and have done so for years. They weren't able to bring them here for the past two seasons and actually had to start hiring locals again. No idea why they were importing them because local high school and college age kids depended on those jobs for years.
