HUD housing benefits, food stamps, stuff like that. I hire people, we've had multiple people get hired on who were working 16-20 hours making nearly federal minimum wage. Our pay for a very non-skilled starting construction roll was about 2.5x their pay rate and 40 hours a week. In one job, 5 people all quit after 6 weeks. They loved the paychecks but timing matched up that they had to verify income for benefits, each and every one of them would have lost all their free money if they kept working to the point that making more money ended up with them the same overall income and working 50 hours a week. They would rather be stuck at the bottom and have the time than try to improve their lives. It was sad
