We will need an unemployment extension this Fall regardless

We’re still down 10 million jobs from before Covid. Firms will start hiring like crazy this Summer, but it’s still going to be a long road back for a lot of families.

I’ve always thought this one bill would be it, but there could be a will to extend to do another extension of just UE when this one runs out. Throw it in with some mandatory bill and get some Reps to agree to helping their voters. Make it low key.
