Indiana Ends Federal Unemployment Benefits

Special unemployment benefits for Indiana residents ran out over the weekend.

And Indiana governor Eric Holcomb says the state will no longer participate in federally funded pandemic benefit programs.

Companies throughout the Hoosier state are displaying help wanted signs, and the hope is that by reducing income possibilities on unemployment, more people will be answering the help-wanted ads.

Companies have offered special incentives including higher wages and better benefits but have heretofore seen fewer applicants than they need.
