Location: SW Ohio | A lot of valid arguments on how people spent money but one thing is certain in my and my coworkers case. The $90 Ohio weekly underemployment didn’t make up for the 25-40% pay cut but the additional $600 per week federal sure did (the 40% was from mandatory OT for hourly workers that was cut to 32 hrs per week. The company said it was only 10%. Dumbasses. The $700 extra a week for April thru Aug added quite a bit to everyone’s overall pay (salaried went back to normal before the hourly did so we took in less overall). I understand that only applies to those not completely laid off but not many companies here in OH shutdown 100% like other states. My money is mostly still in the bank and paying for home repairs we’ve put off for far too long and CC bills Others, I have no doubt, bought boats, cars and other “luxury” items. Every place is different, I suppose. |
