Still taxed or not, that is a very sweet deal in my opinion. You could save up
enough to not work for several years at that rate. This assumes you live in a
van down by the river and eat ramen at every meal.

I just skimmed it but I think the TLDR on it is that since UI varies by state
etc you can compare return to work rates for people making more and less then
they used to and it seems they return to work at similar rates.

Pretty sure unemployment is taxed like ordinary income at the federal level.
State by state varies. I think your numbers are assuming it isn't taxed?
Yale did a study on this.

But at the risk of starting another brush fire... but I want to know:
People laid of in Utah get unemployment benefits. I work hard to prevent
those getting charged to me. But I know that the rates paid are $496/week max.
That is Utah.
So $12.40/hour take home. Equivalent to much more gross. Probably in the
$17/hour range gross.
Then if I understand it right, the feds were adding $600/week on top of
that? $1096/week? $56,992 annual rate. Take home. Equivalent to perhaps
$80K gross?
So a laid off bartender gets the equivalent of $40/hour to sit at home, why
would they want to work? The press and libs in congress have been freaking out
about the conservatives saying the fat benefit package is an incentive to not
try to work. I believe that to be true. Why would anyone work if they get
that much for drinking beer and playing video games?
Do I have this right? Does the fed benefit add to the state benefit?
I have a son that lived on $1000/month for years while in college. He said
he didn’t feel the pinch too much. Had roommates. Had a part time job. Never
asked me for money.
