(Sacramento, CA) — Next week, roughly two million Californians will lose their enhanced unemployment benefits. Congress enacted four programs in 2020 to cushion the loss of jobs due to the pandemic. Those programs end on September 4th. However, experts note it’s not likely there will be a surge in job seeking.
