"Plus, people are making more money from unemployment checks than their day job, so they don’t have an incentive to go back to work."

Unemployment is not a whole hell of a lot of money. Could it be that the top quintile earns too much? The top quintile equals $10,213.92 billion in national income, 51.9%, $397,583.50. If they want workers maybe they need to pay a little more. The bottom quintile garners an astounding $610.08 billion of the nation's income, a paltry 3.1%, $23,747.76. Would you run back to work to make less than unemployment pays? If you are a rich fat cat, you will argue that unemployment pay is too high. The system is broken all right, point the finger where it belongs.
