Current Events > Are people really making 1000 dollars a week

(+) Yeah! (+)

from unemployment that's net right? Why would anyone want to go back to work if you're making that kind of money doing nothing?

because it's finite

pardon my ignorance but wouldn't only people with dependents receive that much

my roommate's been a neet since getting laid off from the energy sector and he's only making like 300/wk in unemployment

No my friend makes 850 a week and he has no kids and single

Does state tax rate factor in?

Yeah, but it's only with that additional $600 bonus per week until August 1st

Co-worker of mine who got laid off was making like $590 a week at the job, and currently getting nearly $1100 a week from unemployment.

I'm making like 830ish dollars from unemployment a week. though from what I remember, I'm only going to get like 230 a week after july.

I make $1080/wk atm gross. It's about what I'd make normally only I dont have to work. It'll get knocked down to $480/wk after July but my work will be open again by that point.
