I agree with Scott. You must have work history for a certain period of time to receive unemployment benefits. Instead they should cut the welfare of the people that never work. If people use their jobs, they may need assistance, food stamps, etc, but people that have never held a job don't get their welfare benefits cut. People that work for a living always get penalized.

Only "tougher" if you are white.

Crawford & Hudson are truely sad. Rather than accept a job that pays 65% of their salary, they would rather sit on their butts & let the taxpayer pay them 50% of their previous salary. Yes Employers do pay into the fund but iit is also subsidized by taxpayers. Talk about entitlement mentality

You have to work to earn unemployment. They should instead cut welfare, like "free" phones, for people who've NEVER worked!
