Unemployment Benefits
Categories: Econ, Metrics, Company Management
Benefits offered through state programs (paid for by taxes) for those who have lost their jobs and can't find another one right away.
If you've lived in your state for at least a year and find yourself out of work, you may be able to collect this benefit. It's usually about one-third of what you used to make, and it's meant to tide you over until you find another job.
