> maybe unemployment is no longer serving it's intended functions (as a stop-gap between jobs). That's basically true. I'm of the opinion that we need a real basic/guaranteed income program, because what we have right now is a terrible hodgepodge of TANF + unemployment + SSDI (http://apps.npr.org/unfit-for-work/) which only serve to paper over the fact that we have more people than there are jobs. This problem will only get worse in the future as automation hollows out the middle of the labor market. |
