I meant the myriad of indolent layabouts that have been abusing the system over the years.
Okay. many are, and many are people who needed it at the time. BTW, it’s paid for by the employers, not the workers, except in one Northeastern state where both pay in. Funny story: We had a guy come in and file for UI and after that I saw him because he was a military veteran which was my specialty for about half my time there. He had sold his insurance company (company, not agency) to a Swiss firm for billions of dollars and agreed to stay on as an employee/consultant for a year. Well, the year was up and here he was, filing for UI. He did it because he could, since he’d never been on UI before. I had access to his “quarters” (quarterly income) on my computer screen, of course. It would’ve made you cry.
