"the average weekly unemployment benefit for all states is $293."Probably not bad for someone with an employed spouse or living in mom's basement -- otherwise I can't imagine trying to live for 99 weeks on that without "lowering" myself to take some unpleasant, difficult but available job. And if there are no jobs at all around, why do we need immigration "reform"?

And if there are no jobs at all around, why do we need immigration "reform"? Comes pretty close to what the average retiree gets from social security. I could have retired 99 weeks earlier.

What makes people my age sick is remembering when we could not imagine how one would manage to spend that much money. I well remember when $293. a MONTH was considered very good pay indeed. That much a WEEK was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Msb7atPd1x8.
