State to end extra federal unemployment payments

Many states, including South Dakota, are ending the extra federal unemployment payments as an incentive to get more people back to work.

Nathan Sanderson, Executive Director of the South Dakota Retailers Association, says any available workers will find a job.

Sanderson says higher pay is only one incentive used to get people back to work.

Sanderson says it’s a national issue.

The state Labor Department announced the extra payments will end the week of June 26th.
