26 states ended federal unemployment benefits early. Data suggests it’s not getting people back to work

Hasnain says:
“UKG, a payroll and time-management firm, found that shifts among hourly workers in those states grew at about half the rate as states that continued the benefit — the opposite trend of what one might expect.”
