5. Unemployment insurance and permanent job loss. Workers sometimes lose their jobs due to
international trade. These jobs are permanently gone, and many displaced workers have difficulty finding
a similar job. The jobs they can find in a few months tend to offer much lower wages than their old job.
Consider the following two proposals to provide unemployment insurance for such workers. Explain your
arguments for or against each policy.
a) Workers displaced from industries identified as impacted by foreign trade receive extended
unemployment benefits. They will receive unemployment benefits for an extra 26 weeks beyond
the normal 26 weeks eligibility.
b) These workers receive unemployment benefits up to 26 weeks. In addition, if they accept a job
at a lower pay than their old job, they are guaranteed 50% of the difference in earnings as a wage
supplement for two years. (The government pays the supplement to the worker.)

One way many businesses do this is by hiring workers as independent contractors rather than as regular employees. Unlike rules for regular employees, a business does not have to pay social security (FICA) taxes and unemployment insurance payments for independent contractors. Similarly, it does not have to withhold federal, state, or local income taxes or the employee’s share of FICA taxes. The IRS has a 20-factor test determining whether a worker should be considered an employee or a contractor, but many businesses ignore those rules or interpret them loosely in their favor. When workers are treated as independent contractors, they do not get a W-2 form at tax time (they geta 1099 instead), they do not have any income taxes withheld, and they find themselves subject to self-employment taxes, by which they bear the brunt of both the employees and the employer’s share of FICA taxes.
