Yeah me too.
PLUS the M-F'ing STATE of TENNESSEE rejected my initial claim last month....(first claim EVER in my entire life and the company had already put in writing that they weren't contesting unemployment claims). And then the fucking state office and won't even answer the damned phone. 
Instead it goes straight to voicemail with the message to leave your name and Social Security Number on the answering machine........ ........are you people fucking nuts?
Damn, it's only $275/week and the company has already PAID it. Jiminy Christmas it's a damned good thing I'm not broke because I'd have someone's ass on a pike. |

Alright RI, we're number 1. Way to go.
We also have one of the highest % of unemployed. COL, individual income and corporate tax rates are among the worst in the country. Good luck trying to get small businesses here to generate jobs.

That is per week...right? So:
Unemployment in RI is $35k/yr. And there's a max of 2y you can ride unemployment. Federal minimum wage is $7.25/hr, or $290/wk, $15k/yr. Why the fuck would I want to work a minimum wage job, or even a double minimum wage job, if I could get more money sitting on my ass doing nothing for 2y? |

What I'm saying is that if the people collecting max actually had the opportunity to take a job such as a walmart bagger, or janitor, etc; why would they? They'd be much better off sitting at home playing with their penis than being productive. |

I have two friends taking in $450-500. One is actively seeking a job (car sales, but he used to be management) and is having difficulty bringing himself to accept the one offer he has for sales since it is such a downgrade.
The other friend is a vicious drunk with a college degree but nothing but experience bartending at age 28. He can barely work an iPod, nevertheless have "computer skills." He is actively ignoring job offers to bartend. The latter is typical, as far as I'm concerned. I'm on a business trip and I'm going to rack up an extra $1800 this month. I bought him a Coors T-Shirt from the brewery. |

I drew the max in NC about ten years ago, IIRC it was $450 then, it is up to over $500 now. Of course back then you were limited to six months, I found work and moved on.
I have no idea how they decide how much to pay, NC doesn't have a particularly high cost of living, bitter cold winters, or anything like that. |

<–––– RI employer
As an employer, we pay 3.29% of each employee's gross pay each week in Unemployment Insurance (ceiling of $19,600) and another 0.51% into the Job Development Fund (same ceiling). The employee pays nothing towards either of those, but does pay 1.2% of their gross pay each week to Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI - ceiling of $60,000). Here's what the taxes look like on a part time employee's recent paycheck: Gross: $367.19 Employee: Federal Income Tax: $41.00 Social Security: $15.42 Medicare: $5.33 RI Income Tax: $13.77 RI TDI: $4.41 Total Employee: $79.93 (21.77% of gross earnings) Employer: Social Security: $22.76 Medicare: $5.33 Federal Unemployment: $2.20 RI Unemployment: $12.08 RI JDF: $1.88 Total Employer: $44.25 (12.05% of gross earnings) So on that gross of $367.19, a total of $124.18 in taxes are generated.
