[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 1061605, member: 42554"] It's easy to write off the people receiving Unemployment [I]Insurance[/I] as freeloaders who don't want to work. However, think about it this way: Say you net $1200/week working for UPS but are terminated. AZ's maximum unemployment benefit is $240/week (worst in the Nation last I checked) Even Hawaii, best in the Country, only provides $416/week Now any work I do would offset that benefit, so just 6 hours per day as a helper would wipe it out. A better use of your time would be to spend those 6 hours looking for another job, training for another career, or starting your own business. Ultimately your goal should be to replace all of your lost income and more, not finding part time work to fill the gap. We always hear about supply and demand in regards to Business, yet oddly how "employers aren't feeling pressure to raise wages". Well the supply is staying away so it's time for UPS to step up if they want to attract seasonal help. [/QUOTE]
