Incorruptible Mass

44. Unemployment and how Massachusetts is messing it up


Listen Later

Our state legislature could have funded unemployment insurance properly, but instead we're now deep in debt. Small businesses pay a higher rate than large corporations, we punish seasonal businesses, and the payments to unemployed people don't even cover food & rent. We talk to Molly Kivi about how we can fix it.

Jordan Berg Powers, Jonathan Cohn (absent), and Anna Callahan chat about Massachusetts politics. This is the audio version of the Incorruptible Mass podcast, season 4 episode 29.  The video version is available here.

You’re listening to Incorruptible Massachusetts. Our goal is to help people understand state politics: we investigate why it’s so broken, imagine what we could have here in MA if we fixed it, and report on how you can get involved.
