We had this 40 years ago, If you wanted unemployment you hyad to physically go down to the office and if there were any jobs you were qualified for they sent you there. It was also required that businesses post their job openings at the unemployment office for 2 weeks before being allowed to advertise for employment.
this was in California in the 70’s
I worked at the unemployment office from 1983 to 2000 and again in a different state after Katrina.
