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.
Why Solar is the Best Energy Solution. The amount of energy the sun sends towards our planet is 35,000 times more than what we currently produce and consume. Some part of this energy â better known as solar radiation â is reflected back into space but a lot of it is absorbed by the atmosphere and other elements surrounding the inner atmosphere.
