if u had a decent paying job and got downsized, you have
99 weeks of unemployment. + you get subsidized cobra for ~18
months. why work for minimum wage. wait for the 99 weeks to run
out....
That's exactly what's happened. For some the 99 weeks is running
out now and others it will later but when it does, they will find
work, and the unemployment rate will
drop,imho.
I
was unemployed for a few months in the 70's, I think there
were only 26 weeks you could draw back then, it sure wasn't 99
Weeks! First month, great $$$ money keep coming in and didn't
have to go in to work. Second month, nice, I could get to like
this, third month, this is too good to be true, fourth
month,,,,,,,,,what will I do when this runs out? Fifth month, heck
this is about over and then what! So I found a job painting
houses......
