You're underselling it - at an extra $600, about 40% of workers would make more on unemployment than at their job: https://abcnews.go.com/Business/employers-struggle-compete-6...

Your quantitative claim contradicts that characterization.

Since what I reported was the rough policy target was that the average worker would be making the same with the boost, only 40% and not approximately 50% making more with the boost isn’t me overselling, if anything, it is the opposite.
