Last week, President Joe Biden
said states with an unemployment rate higher than the national average of 5.4% could
use their relief funds to extend the benefits.
New Jersey's unemployment
rate is 7.3%, which is tied for the fifth highest in the country behind Nevada, New York, New Mexico and
California.
