More money is needed for job creation. Solano businesses said they will hire more people if the government is willing to pay part of their salaries. Current programs are either paying too little, or only funding people employers feel might not even show up most days for work.
For example, we discovered businesses in the Solano Business Incubator would be interested in hiring 40 employees if the government created more salary subsidies. For example some believed the amount the government is now spending for the 99 weeks unemployment package would be enough incentive for Solano employers to receive as subsidy. That is if Uncle Sam gave the unemployment compensation to the employer instead of the worker, the companies could often hire these qualified people whose unemployment had not yet run out.
Waiting from Washington, DC on this one.
