Last check: 2007-10-03) In general, increasing the length of time that UI benefits are available intensifies the incentives for workers to decline employment and for employers to lay off workers, slowing down the process of economic recovery. Last June's peak unemployment level of 6.3 percent was closer to that astonishingly low level than to the peak unemployment encountered in the mid-1970s or early 1980s.

Unemployment Benefits An increasing number of workers who need unemployment benefits in order to help cope with the painful transition between jobs are finding that those benefits are woefully inadequate.
