"They keep extending these unemployment benefits to the point where people are afraid to go out and get a job, because the job doesn't pay as much as the unemployment benefit does"

- Sharron Angle

About this Quote

This quote by Sharron Angle recommends that the federal government's extension of unemployment benefits has produced a disincentive for people to find work. Angle suggests that the amount of cash individuals receive in unemployment benefits is so high that it is more attractive to stay out of work than to take a task that pays less. This could be an indication of a larger issue in the economy, where wages are not keeping up with the cost of living. It might also suggest a lack of job opportunities, where individuals are not able to discover work that pays enough to make it worth their while. In either case, Angle's quote suggests that the government's extension of unemployment benefits has actually produced a situation where individuals are afraid to take a job.
