I recently heard of a study that found that the biggest indicator of when you get a job is when your unemployment benefits run out.

I think there's some truth to that. I believe those people are placed in a class where they are considered to "no longer" be looking for work, thus taken out of the math that determines the unemployment rate. (Retirees fall into this group by default.)
