Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) rescinded an executive order issued last year that waived the requirement for Arizonans to prove they are actively looking for a job in order to receive unemployment benefits.

Ducey said the pandemic-era order issued in March last year is no longer necessary because the state’s economy has recovered and vaccines are widely available.
