The big kick in the a$$ for employers these days is the child tax credit. It's killing the economy more than the extended UI benefits ever hoped to do.
You don't have to be an economist to understand that if someone working 32 hours/week taking home $1,350 a month is offered a child tax credit for her 4 kids totaling $1,150 per month to sit on her backside and not work, she/he will take door number 2 every single time. I would! She can work one day a week and bring home another $400/month, giving her a lot more income for a lot less work. What a scam.
