Businesses of all sizes could expand more easily if they did not have to pay 100% of newly created jobs, so use the benefits that are already being claimed as a baseline wage and let employers, who create new jobs, to top up these benefits to a full wage. This way money that is being spent is spent more wisely, those that want to work get jobs and extra earning and companies get an opportunity to grow.pf course the benefits part of the wage would have to be limited, 6 months sounds reasonable
Fantastic idea Polly. Stimulus without borrowing.
