I guess it’s good to know that if I loss my job that I won’t have to look for another one for at least 2 years.

“I guess it’s good to know that if I loss my job that I won’t have to look for another one for at least 2 years.”

Unemployment compensation isn’t very much money, and you have to file continual reports of job-hunting efforts. Almost anyone would prefer a job.

That said, what about college graduates who can’t find their first job? They aren’t helped at all by unemployment compensation.

The only good idea is to cut both taxes and government spending drastically, and thereby encourage more hiring. The last President to quickly end a depression with that approach was the much-maligned Warren Harding in 1921.
