Get ahead of expiring unemployment with these job search tips

6/26/2021

It's no secret that many people who are out of work are currently receiving more money from #unemployment benefits than they did working. Some economists estimate that over 66% of people on unemployment are making more now than they did at work. This bump in pay is primarily due to Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC), which gives workers an extra $600 per week on top of the unemployment benefit they’d typically receive.

So why not just stay home and collect more money, reduce your potential exposure to #Coronavirus, and wait it out? While this may sound tempting, postponing a job search may not be that great of a strategy when it comes to finding a job.
