Another aspect is that if a person takes lower paying employment and gets laid off again,the amount they get on unemployment will be based on that lower amount. It’s very troubling,especially after reading through this thread and seeing that people who are unemployed for 12 or so months are considered lazy,out of touch with innovations,having eroded social skills and the like.
So a person with a solid work history for years becomes umemployed for an extended period and is then considered by potential employers to be worthless. It’s both ridiculous and tragic.
You make great comments. Thank you for adding common sense to this thread.
