Pandemic Unemployment Benefits Provided Much-Needed Fiscal Support

Southwest Economy, 2020, issue Fourth Quarter

Abstract: Recent analysis suggests that enhanced unemployment insurance benefits implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have helped buttress spending among the unemployed and supported state and local economies. Their economic impact in Texas relative to the nation has been constrained by lower levels of participation in the unemployment aid programs and more modest per-capita payments from them.
