Under the proposal, Missouri could join four other states that set the weeks of unemployment benefits available based upon the statewide unemployment rate. The Senate has already approved the measure which could cap maximum weeks of benefits in the state at 13 weeks if unemployment drops below 6 percent in the state. The state labor departmentâs March unemployment rate of 6.7 percent would mean benefits would be cut from 20 to 15 weeks. The maximum would still be 20 weeks when the unemployment rate is above 9 percent. Bill sponsor Sen. Mike Kehoe, R-Jefferson City, said reduced weeks of benefits has already paid off in Florida and North Carolina.
The Earth orbits the sun in an oval shape. During the time where the Earth is closest to the sun, the season will be summer. The closer the Earth is the more rays from the sunâ¦ that will hit it. More rays, more energy.
Earthâs temperature depends on how much sunlight the land, oceans, and atmosphere absorb, and how much heat the planet radiates back to space. This fact sheet describes the net flow of energy through different parts of the Earth system, and explains how the planetary energy budget stays in balance.
