WJON — The Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation Program (FPUC) which allows for those laid off or furloughed due to Covid-19 an additional $600 is set to run out July 31. St. Cloud State Dean, School of Public Affairs and Economics Professor King Banaian joined me on WJON today. He says for those receiving the extra $600 some may have decided it isn’t worth it to return to work until after this expires, while for others they may not feel comfortable coming back after July 31 and for some their jobs may no longer be there.
