By MATT MURPHY State House News Service STATE HOUSE, BOSTON, SEPT. 9, 2020.....Out-of-work Massachusetts residents have received more than $200 million in enhanced unemployment benefits over the past week with more checks going in the mail, but Gov. Charlie Baker said Wednesday that the new program created by President Donald Trump last month isn't a sustainable long-term solution. The unemployment rate in Massachusetts in July was 16.1 percent, the highest in the nation. The loss of jobs has been felt throughout the economy, and has taxed the state's system, paid for by employers, to support workers during down periods. Baker called on Democrats and Republicans in Washington to step up to help states support workers and pay for other government services. "People in both parties need to come together to make this happen, sometime soon," Baker said at an afternoon press conference. "It's the right thing to do for workers who lost their jobs because of the measures many of us took to stop the spread of COVID-19 and it's critically important to ensuring that state and local governments can continue to support their communities as they work their way through the rest of this pandemic." The governor said without more certainty on the availability of federal funds he could not commit to supporting a freeze in SJC hears arguments in COVID-19 unemployment insurance rates, which has been suggested by the co-chair of the Labor and Workforce Development Committee Sen.
