I can assure you, that receiving unemployment benefits reduces the urge to go back to work.

You can huh? Tell me, how in hell do they meet their mortgages, utility bills, food, insurance, rent etc, when collecting unemployment benefits which is far less money?

Unemployment might work for some 21 year old living at home, but in the real world, for people with assets, mortgages, rent and bills, it will financially kill you in short order.

I can tell you that if there is no unemployment, there is more incentive to go back to work. When you can get paid $2000 a month to sit home you have less incentive to get right back to work. Simple economics.

Lots of 2-income families. When one can be paid to sit at home and take care of the chores and upkeep, that family is not is as big of a hurry to become a two-worker family as soon.
