From the article, eligible person are:There was not one mention of hookers/prostitutes anywhere. It's not anymore correct equating strippers to hookers than equating Catholic Priests to child molesters.
Speaking strictly as someone who used to work with strippers (bouncing, bar tending, cooking at clubs), most of them (not all) don't work that hard. It's why they're stripping. If they aren't stripping, they're doing cam girl stuff, or being sugar babies. Some of them learn to tend bar, or cook. Fewer still go to school for a different trade. The straight of it is that they work for cash money that they don't pay taxes on (just like most tattoo artists, and before anyone asks, I am covered in tattoos) and A LOT of them utilize state benefits or unemployment to live on/pay their bills. They don't deserve Rona benefits. They're already getting all the other allowable ones.Considering prostitution is not legal in Oregon (yet) I really doubt hookers/prostitutes will be getting money from the state. Notwithstanding the full definition of "Sex Worker". Strippers work for legitimate, legal, taxpaying businesses in Oregon. If the non-working, middle aged adults males earning social security get "Rona Aid" then I don't see why hard working strippers shouldn't?

The job is certainly physically difficult, if you're in poor shape. More than anything, I mean that overall, there's a pretty light money to work ratio. 4-5 hour shifts, tops, sometimes fewer than 5 days a week, and I've seen those girls walk out with 1500 bucks at the end. On top of their unemployment or food stamps. Figure 1500 a day at the high end, 3 days a week, that's 117,000 a year untaxed. A lot of people (myself included) make less than half that and pay taxes.I haven't been to a strip club in years. I'd think I'd be looked at as some kind of "Perv" these days, with the white beard and all. But moving here from Utah in 1983, THIS boy needed to get out and SEE just what it was all about! I didn't go out a lot or spend time with any of the girls, I just now it looked like they worked pretty hard to me. A lot harder than the fat slob drug dealer that live across the street from me. He gets SS and has three fine cars and has spent a bunch of time in prison.
Why do suppose they added sex workers to the eligibility then? It doesn't say strippers only. As a matter of fact, the 2nd criterion, Anyone "who has made income from using their or other people's sexuality to financially assist themselves" is broad enough to include pimps as well.Considering prostitution is not legal in Oregon (yet) I really doubt hookers/prostitutes will be getting money from the state.

I'm afraid you might be right.Considering how the state of Orecommunist is now, I bet I could get my horse to receive some kind of benefits. If you are on the left side of things in this state, the state will take care of you.
