I don’t understand two things honestly. The first is why can’t they federalize unemployment, and the second is why isn’t it paid out at a set percentage of your average income over x number of years.
It’s crazy to me that someone who has paid into the system at a higher rate doesn’t have the same level of protection, percentage wise, as someone who has paid in less.
It would be very different if people had a set cost of living, but that just isn’t the case. 275 can be an amount you can live on, however uncomfortably, until you find a job, or it can be… homelessness in a matter of months.
