I described what the average unemployment check was, and what kind of job it would take to bring in more money than that check. In California, that's any job that pays more than $23,300 a year.
I still submit that if you can't find any job at all that pays at least that much in two solid years, you aren't really looking. I assume that the people collecting unemployment benefits are, by definition, physically capable of holding down at least some kind of job.
Now we add a third year.
I would really like to see someone collect statistics on the 99-weekers at the end of that third year to see what percentage found work given that extra time. If the benefits actually expire after that - and I'm beginning to wonder if they ever will - I would like to see statistics on...what would it be by then? "150-weekers?"...to see how many find work when actually shoved into it.
