I really vascillate back and forth on this one.
I know people who get in a tough situation and I am glad they have the unemployment checks to get them by. They get out there and do there best to find employment and in a deep recession there just isn't a job.
On the other hand I know some who really are in no hurry to find a job. They may be able to get one, but it will be a 20-40% cut in pay from their previous job and they get almost that with their unemployment check.
I don't know what percentage of people are in the situation described in the first paragraph or those in the second paragraph.
While unemployment probably not only helps the individual, it probably keeps the economy from tipping over into even worse shape. However, maybe after 52 weeks, 75, weeks, 99 weeks at some point it isn't healthy for the economy.
