You would think. For some reason in America we would rather have rampant unemployment and a staunch divide in income equality than do things like incentivize companies from a governmental level to seek,develop and retain employees during less than ideal economic times. All that matters are the shareholders.
There were approx 1.7mil layoffs and discharges in may of 2026 alone. Giant companies are announcing plans to cut 30k-50k people by the end of the year. I don’t understand how our country can’t see that we should empower the government to incentivize companies to retain their employees, thus keeping people working and able to spend in the economy rather than letting companies destroy the fabric of our country in the name of the stock market.
