tucson% -- is 2.6%. if someone is hiring right now, you do not get very much subsidy. you get a $1,000 bonus if you keep the person for a year. the credit that we were proposing was somewhere around $7,000 per job. it was a much bigger subsidy. ct says that you have to be unemployed for 60 days. there are many problems with this. one is that employers simply it seem to not want to deal with this. there are stigma of fax -- effects. most of the research indicates that there would be lower effectiveness. if you want to target the disadvantages, then you are talking about public service jobs programs. the third aspect is that the higher at a + 2 -- higher act applies to all hires. one of the things that this does is increase is the dead weight loss problem. this is normally about 10% of employment in the u.s., even in a recession. there are expansions by some firms and new jobs created by some firms. in contrast, what you decide -- once you decide you're going to hire, you're going to end up subsidizing and most employers will say that they will tell their tax accountant
