Tweet - "In states like South Dakota, unemployment rates are low, vaccination rates are strong, & schools are open. We're ready for the rest of the country to catch up, but Pres. Biden's policies are hamstringing our economic recovery -- driving prices up & hiring down."
|
Sen. John Thune
|
| May 12, 2021
|
Tweet - "South Dakota made the right call by soon ending the Democrats' extra $300 in unemployment benefits. We have one of the strongest workforces in America. For those who are still unemployed, we need to incentivize them to find a job, and the Democrats' policy did just the opposite."

|
| May 11, 2021
|
Tweet - "You don't need an economics degree to figure this one out. Job openings are there, but Americans are discouraged from getting a job when they're making more on unemployment. Republicans warned this would happen, but Ds still demanded the federal govt plus-up states' UI benefits."
