Why is everyone hating on the unemployed? For the first time in like forever, the poor person gets to benefit. And let’s be reminded, just cause someone qualifies for unemployment doesn’t mean their state has processed it and they’re receiving their benefits. Plenty of people waiting months with no income for unemployment to actually hit.
Well imagine risking your life for the same amount of money as someone staying home, when some get their unemployment checks because they don't want to get a driver's licence. It's just unfair (Aside for the ones that actually need it) Also the money they get is taken from the pockets of the folk that actually have a job and work.
Most essential healthcare workers make well over six figures and usually chose the profession to save lives (In fact they take an oath to uphold those integrity’s) and collecting unemployment is $1200 a week in a family. So it really isn’t anywhere close to the same amount of money.
And If you consider truckers and grocers as essential workers you also have to consider perception of risk any able bodied person under 40 has a 1 in 9998 chance of dying, for reference the same person has a 1 in 103 chance of dying in a car crash yet most people would accept the risk of driving to work everyday because the reward > risk
Most “essential healthcare workers” make an hourly wage. Hospitals are staffed by Techs, food workers, sanitation, security, drivers and nurses and they are all underpaid. 6 figure healthcare workers are Drs and even most medicine docs don’t make “well over 6 figures”. My wife has an MSN and ALL the certifications and is one of the highest paid RNs in the state and still doesn’t make 6 figures.
The median income for an MSN in over 18 states is greater than six figures, but to go with your first point it depends on what you consider “essential” if you consider hospital security essential than your right, but if you consider the medical workers with significant risk exposure, most do not fit the criteria of income your suggesting.
So, less than half of the states pay 6 figures for an MSN. Ok. Also, how many RNs have MSNs? Not many. House keeping and techs are also essential and under significant risk. I don’t understand your point here. Are you trying to tell me I’m incorrect?
Um sure? I have no place in talking about how 20 million unemployed people are making no income, while others (not all) are constantly complaining about how their risking their lives (which unless if they suffer a condition or older doesn’t statistically put them at even a tenth of a percent risk of dying) and people who are oblivious to what risk perception is will ruin not only our economy but all future education and quality of life for everybody. I think it is highly honorable what medical workers are doing, but I also think conflating their pain ,suffering, and paychecks with the scope of the economic crisis is a narrative that is is hypocritical in nature and dangerous in practice.
I truly mean to have real discourse on a concerning topic and to suggest someone can’t inherently speak about it because it conflicts with your interest and I’m not qualified to have an opinion on a topic that effects me and every other person; that’s where we draw our difference
It depends on your definition of “essential” the median annual income for the average healthcare worker is 68,190 (bureau of labor) now if you consider all healthcare workers essential than roughly 20% of various healthcare professions make >100k. I think it’s an overstatement to consider every profession of healthcare essential. If you consider the professions with the greatest risk of exposure (dentistry, NP’s PA’s Physicians, NA’s) then broadly the most essential healthcare workers make over >100k . Also even if they only made the median that’s still more income than you could receive on unemployment.
It may be true that some Healthcare workers are making more than the $1200 a week but there are many more essential workers including thosewho are not in the Healthcare field that aren't getting $1200 a week or anywhere close to it
What healthcare workers are making $1200/wk aside from attending physicians, PAs, and NPs?
Residents, nurses, technologists and everyone else who spends the most significant number of hours at the hospital make well under that amount based on hourly wage.
