It depends on what you understand with very generous unemployment benefits. Te me just the fact that there is universal healthcare makes the unemployment benefits way better.

I am a EU citizen having lived in the US for almost a decade and I still can't overcome the stress of losing my job because of this.

With the higher salary in the US, especially as a software engineer, you could easily put a little bit aside to pay for a healthcare exchange plan for a while if you do ever lose your job.
