No, Everyone Isn’t Earning More Money
The extra $600 a week in unemployment benefits is set to expire at the end of July. While much has been published on Americans earning more income while not working during the pandemic, the reality is not so black and white. SaverLife’s recent poll looked at members’ self-reported income from an employer plus any unemployment benefits in March and compared that with June. The data reveals that about 21% of people are earning more money, but 26% are earning less, and 53% are earning roughly the same amount.
