(The Center Square) – South Carolina will quit participating in the federal unemployment pandemic assistance programs at the end of next month.
Gov. Henry McMaster announced he directed the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce (DEW) to stop the state’s participation in all federal pandemic-related unemployment benefit programs in order to address workforce shortages, effective June 30.
“South Carolina’s businesses have borne the brunt of the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic,” McMaster wrote Thursday in a letter to DEW Executive Director Dan Ellzey. “Those businesses that have survived – both large and small, and including those in the hospitality, tourism, manufacturing, and healthcare sectors – now face an unprecedented labor shortage.”
Ben Homeyer, the National Federation of Independent Business’ South Carolina state director, said the No. 1 issue his members have is finding employees. He said South Carolina’s small businesses are a microcosm of the national trends and numbers in terms of job openings and the current inability to fill them. more

Tennessee is crafting a similar bill – should be approved soon.
It is imperative that the states step up wherever possible to stop the Chinese Communist Democrat Party from destroying this country.
Might be a good way to get Democrats to leave your state for one that will continue offering Biden bucks.
Not holding my breath in Michigan. But it is nice to see states stepping up.
I commented here yesterday that our governor of Alabama announced the end of the federal unemployment program on Monday. It will end on June 19th. Besides the left calling her out as being a racist for not letting anyone get the money, she is also a racist because June 19th is Juneteenth.
As stated above, Tennessee is also doing this and I would imagine there are more states or will be more.
Never in my life would I have thought so many Americans would rather sit on their lazy butts than get up and go to work. I’m appalled at what has happened to the people of America.
Datz rayciss

federal programs are the closest thing to eternal life we will see on earth until the return of our Lord.

Meanwhile McMaster and the SC House continue to subsidize illegals to the tune of millions every year.
Disheartening to see so many fellow Americans more than willing to take the easy wy out.
Hopefully the trend will continue to give them a swift kick in the ass
