Unemployment will be below 5% in most states by


The end of the year. Particularly as college help goes back to school.

The reason we have so many folks not working when job openings are so high is the alternative is they can make more by not working. Transfer payments last year and in the first half of this year were extraordinary. Combine that with a halt to foreclosures and rent payments. So not only are folks able to make more than they ever have by not working they also haven’t had to pay rent or their mortgage if they chose to. That’s why the situation you described exists. The good news is the higher transfer payments are (or already have in some states) going away and the rent payment relief is going away too. That will really help those job openings get filled.
