Isn't this going to tank in the long run? I have friends who are servers at restaurants (some fine dining and some just your franchise restaurants like Chilis) pulling $875 a week. Hell, if it wasn't for my job's medical insurance I'd get fired just to draw unemployment at $875 a week. Cannot fathom how all these people are now getting paid MORE to be unemployed.

Unemployment is figured by the highest paid quarter (3 months salary) divided by 26.
That works out to 50% of your normal salary. You also have to check in weekly to see if you still qualify. Actively looking for work and proving it is part of the qualifications.
