Welfare Payout Statistics That Will Make You Really Angry
Tired of busting your rump forty hours a
more each week, just to make ends meet? And many of us who do work full
time, still cannot make ends meet. Perhaps it’s time for all of us to go
on welfare.
According to a study from the Cato
Institute, welfare benefits payout more than a full time minimum wage
job in at least 35 states! In at least thirteen states, the payout is
more than $15 an hour! And even more shocking, is that if someone were
to draw all of the welfare benefits available to them, their pay would
be more than that of a newly college educated teacher in eleven states,
and it would add up to more than the salary of a computer programmer in
three states!
If you found it hard to believe that
thirteen states pay more than $15 an hour in welfare benefits, then you
would find it even harder to believe that the highest welfare payout
states pay more than $20 an hour! These states include: Hawaii, with
payments equaling $29.13 per hour, DC at $24.43 per hour, Massachusetts
at $24.30 , Connecticut at $21.33, New York at $21.01 per hour, New
Jersey at $20.89 per hour, Rhode Island at $20.83 per hour and Vermont
at $20.36 per hour.
Think of all of this the next time you get your paycheck and determine that it may or may not be enough for you to meet your budget’s needs.
