I think this will be a good way to encourage people to accept jobs. Many jobs are unfulfilled and this would be a good incentive to get people back to work.

I don't like this idea because giving them more money to go to work will not make them stay. We shouldn't be giving free money.

They've had an incentive to stay home. Just take the extra unemployment money away and then they have incentive to go back to work.

Robert Northrup

Government used tax payer money to encourage people to not work and now they want to use taxpayer money to bribe them to go to work? STUPID! Businesses should not have been forced to close in the first place.

Dianne Price

Take away the extra unemployment !

Kimmy Wasatch

People are to used to free money although it costs the working, tax paying citizens. Stop the incentives and they should and will go to work.

Just reduce the unemployment cash benefits and people will go back to work. It is suppose to be a "hand up" and not a "hand out".

I'm SICK and TIRED of businesses telling me they're sorry for the wait because they can't hire enough people to serve the public in a decent amount of time.the wait for any service out there is horrible and the ONLY REASON IS THAT THEY CAN'T FIND PEOPLE TO WORK BECAUSE THE $300WEEK UNEMPLOYMENT

Michael Miller

Seems to me the businesses that need employees should do that.

C. Adrian Clark Jr.

Enforce not accepting employment penalties.

Cut off unemployment and quit allowing people to rely on the government.

Kathy Farr

Implement livable wages with decent benefits and you'll be flooded with folks wanting to work for you. With the pandemic, they've learned that not working for sub-livable wages leaves them better off since they don't have to struggle to pay for transportation and child care.

Sussie Due

I think pulling unemployment for people that have been on it for ages would be good enough incentive. There are 1000's of jobs out there right now. They would not have a problem finding one.

No incentives or government. Everybody should just do whatever they want to do without government managing any aspect of their lives. Drive as fast as you want on any side of the road you chose. Do it for freedom !

Eric Holeik

I have been working since this pandemic started give me a bonus and my fellow employees we deserve a bonus. Barely making it.

Mayor Fitz has already indicated there’s a water issue so why are we bringing a huge business into Redmond without a resolution first? There’s also a huge traffic consideration that needs to be addressed.

Elizabeth Gordon

More stable high paying jobs would be wonderful, especially for our younger generation looking to start a career in the area that's not in the medical or educational fields. The added bonus is faster delivery!! Looking forward to it.

You can grow or you can die. If parents want their children to grow up and to live here we need growth to do that. Good jobs! Next we need to get the cost of housing here down so people who grow up here can afford to buy homes here!

Amazon jobs are not good jobs. For example, they make their employees pee in plastic bottles...

Megan Pfanner

I love that it will bring more jobs, and no longer waiting 1-2 weeks for delivery

Ron Rommel

We need it for getting products quicker to everyone!👍
