Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia said he doesn’t believe the extra $600 per week in unemployment benefits are needed, coming just weeks before the benefits are slated to end.
“It was a really important thing to do as we were shutting our economy down. Americans across the country were basically being told, and we needed to take measures, but they were basically being told, you can’t go to work right now. ... I don’t think we need that $600 benefit going forward,” Scalia said on “Fox News Sunday.”
