$2400 a month is pretty far below entry level for any white color job. Its about what you would earn full time in an Amazon warehouse. Or minimum wage in NYC.

It's $2,400/mo in addition to the regular unemployment amount. The total amount is more than many US workers, like teachers and construction workers, make while employed[0].

Yes. The reality is that COVID unemployment checks have made it so that a lot of people can finally afford this type of upgrade. Many people are receiving a larger "paycheck" now than they've ever earned in their life.
