What’s known as “crowd out” almost guarantees that most of the people who receive the subsidies will not be the ones policymakers originally envisioned would benefit.

Maybe this could possibly work if the employers were monitored. They have to follow guidelines or they don't obtain the subsidy. For example, the person has to have been unemployed for X amount of time, etc. However, every plan has upsides and downfalls- so, there can be common objections but we'll never know until it's tested.
