Here in GA I am seeing restaurant managers and hostess' waiting tables at many of our dining out haunts. 24 hr Big Box Stores with limited hours (7am to 11pm) and pallet lifts on the floor all day instead the usual night stocking hours. Too many Fast Food places around here ORDER ONLY no eat in. and more....

Here in GA min wage $5.15 per hour x 30 hrs per week earning $1854 quarter .
Can collect up to $ 177 per week in Unemployment for 26
weeks.

The extra $300 makes it $477 a week or $12,402 vs. the $4,602 they would collected for 26 weeks and had an incentive to find and get back to work.

#2 Perhaps the real purpose of the $300 pandemic boost is to raise the effective minimum wage?
