 Another aspect, which we'll cover quickly, is the fact that welfare, and I talked about this in a previous show, today we've got to the point where in some states welfare programs, welfare benefits, particularly if you include unemployment insurance, are so lucrative that a lot of people choose not to go to work. A lot of people have just staying out of the workforce and living off of the state. I gave you the example I think of a show I did a while back of the fact that, you know, if you take into account after tax income, a lot of people in welfare make about as much as people in what you would consider the low middle class. It doesn't make sense for a lot of people to go to work because they actually will reduce their income. So we've created a system in many states which disincentivizes searching for work. And I came across this paper, it's a paper called Paying Americans Not to Work, which was written by Casey Mulligan who's a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and others. And they look at unemployment insurance in particular. And what they find is that three states, if you take into account benefits and unemployment insurance in those states, three states Washington, Massachusetts and New Jersey, actually people can, you know, a family of four has benefits that exceed $100,000. Which means that you can go on the unemployment benefits for as long as they last, different states that last differently, and you can live pretty well. And a lot of these states, some of these states, I think there are six states that don't tax these benefits at the state level. I think a lot of states, most states, you don't pay Social Security and Medicare taxes on this money. So if you take all that into account, these are pretty amazing benefits. The median secondary school teacher makes $81,000. Median construction and building inspector makes $80,000. And median electrician makes $78,000. This is nationwide. Median firefighter, $66,000. The median heavy haul trucker makes $63,000. And yet you can actually get to $122,000 in Washington state. And one of the things that they looked at interestingly, just to show the relationship between unemployment insurance and unemployment, is when during COVID, states gave $600, the federal government gave additional $600 on state unemployment insurance. They added $600 to that. What happened? Well, what happened was jobs went unfilled. Massive numbers of jobs went unfilled. As soon as that expired, somehow those jobs filled up again. The same happened when under Biden, that was under Trump. Under Biden, they increased unemployment insurance by $300. And their different states eliminated the $300 additional different points in time. And you could see the recollection in the study between when that additional insurance was paid, was eliminated, and how quickly jobs were filled, job vacancy was filled. So there's the recollection between how much you pay people not to work and between how many people work. I know they're shocking. I know it's surprising. But sometimes you have to write an economic paper in order to show this. So this is a paper, I don't think it's been published yet. It's a pre-publication paper. But it's stunning how much and the extent to which these benefits make it, it just doesn't pay for some people to try to look for a job. And as a consequence of that, there is a vast number of people who don't look for jobs. And as a consequence of that, the labor participation rate today is still lower than it was before COVID hit. In spite of all the, in spite of the fact that the economy seems to have recovered, there are plenty of jobs. Unemployment rate is very, very low. But there are a lot of people who lost their jobs during COVID who will never come back. Some of them will never come back because they're retired. Some of them will never, won't come back at least for a while because of the variety of different benefits the state is providing them. Not to work, to encourage them, literally not to work. Stay home. All right. Thank you.
