I think if someone has worked all their life and the economy has knocked them on their ass momentarily they should take whatever is offered until they can find another gig as quite a few people are struggling right now and no sense losing what ya own if programs are in place to help until you get back on your feet again. My dad was making $20+ an hour and immediately took another job at $10 and is struggling but is keeping his eyes open until something closer to what he used to make comes along. Personally I have been working since I was 13 and the only times I drew unemployment was with seasonal jobs where getting laid off for 2-3 months was okay as during the regular season I worked 50-60 hours a week so I could afford it and a little break in the winter was nice. If I became unemployed today I would draw unemployment until something came up but going past a few months not working it would drive me nuts. I only have issues with people trying to milk the system and not looking for work, for those that do work and fall on hard times take what they give you until you get back on your feet.
