And to stir the pot a little:
Add to all this the government restriction on evictions,
which I understand is also ending soon, so those that
squandered their extra money are going to be hauling
that 90" tv around in the back of their civic.

A lot of this has to do with the employer as well right?
Another anecdotal story so be patient but it is a real one. My wife has a
little part time job at a jewelry store called James Avery. They sell
cheap
silver stuff I think. She likes it and it only costs me about $100 a month
for her to work there. When retail was shut down they eventually laid
everyone off. Supposedly they also file unemployment for her. No idea if
she ever got it but they said they did. I don't think she ever got the
$600
a week or whatever but again, I have no idea. After a few weeks they
opened
and asked her to come back which she did. I would assume that if she had
refused (so she could collect her extra $600 a week from the feds) that is
a valid reason to suspend her unemployment and JA would have challenged
that. I know I would have.
A job offered that you used to perform and refused is a valid reason to
suspend benefits. So once your benefit is suspended what do you do? Go
back
to work. If you worked for me, you would have to go get a job somewhere
else because I am not hiring you back but you still have to go find a job
somewhere or your lifestyle starts to rapidly change.
