AS i said I see both sides but from a human standpoint how do unemployed people get hired if companies won’t hire unemployed people?
all that does is keep them on unemployment and congress voting to extend unemployment payments.

There doesn’t seem to be a good solution and I really really feel bad for people who got laid off or their companies closed and now they can’t even get interviews for work

Matthews makes that specific argument. I will respond on another comment to Matthews words and ping you.

Your point is slightly different than Matthews but similar.

Employers are cherry-picking candidates because it's a employers market. It's an employers market largely but not solely because the government punishes employers for hiring and drives them to automation and offshoring with stupid ideas like this. If there were more jobs wrt candidates employers would have to (their best interest ) hire candidates that dont look perfect.

Killing the cow because it's not producing as much milk as the owner has kids is counterproductive.
