Stimulus Payment 2023: American Front-line employees to receive bonus up to $1000

Augusta, Georgia, is rewarding city employees who worked jobs during the pandemic and were at the highest risk of contracting coronavirus.

Under the plan, the money depends on the number of hours worked and the job category, according to a report from the Kennebec Journal (KJ).

For example, most full-time city workers qualify for $500 bonuses, while part-timers are set to get $250.

But if you work in the line of public safety, custodial, dispatch, or rubbish collection, you could be eligible for another $500.

Full-time workers in one of those groups would receive a total of $1,000, while part-timers can get $500.

Pandemic stimulus’ turbocharged Americans’ cash on hand

The amount of money held by households in the United States is $4.7 trillion, more than three times what it was before the pandemic.

The increase is probably due to federal, state, and local stimulus programs over nearly three years.

Yet, the reason the amount keeps growing even as stimulus payments dwindle is mysterious, according to an analysis from Bloomberg.
