I'm in Michigan and I've spoken with people who either can't hire or don't want to work because of the amount they get on unemployment. They would rather stay home and collect than contribute. Even in jobs that are naturally socially distant.

It's anecdotal, sure. I would love to see some studies on it or even just data.

I think you need to consider how screwed by outsourcing and immigration working class Americans have been for the past 30 years.
