This should be good news for those out of work but employers are finding difficulty in an ongoing effort to hire new workers, even though the nation’s unemployment rate sits at six percent.

Nearly 4.6 million workers exited the labor force during the pandemic, according to a Bank of America analysis. But it's thought the majority of those workers don’t plan to rejoin the labor force until the end of next year, according to Joseph Song, the leader of the effort, in a letter to clients.

He pointed to the enhanced unemployment benefits as a key indicator over why some jobless workers may not be returning to the labor force for several months, as President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion rescue package offers $300 weekly unemployment bonuses through September. Song noted that Americans earning less than $32,000 prior to the economic crisis would be better off collecting unemployment benefits, rather than working, Fox Business reported.
