Message: Unemployment Headaches continue

Starting December 1 thru April 2011, approximately 4.6 million unemployed workers will begin rolling off of the Federal emergency unemployment compensation and extended benefits programs. If congress does not extend the program, instead of receiving up to 99 weeks of benefits, the unemployed will only be eligible for the standard 26 weeks of benefits. About 200,000 workers will fall out of the programs each week while new job growth will be lucky to exceed 100,000 per month. By the time all the Federal EUC/EB benefits expire, the total will amount to an annualized hit to personal income of $70 billion."
