Those without employment can be earning, now, $1,313 every week they’re unemployed in NJ. $713 from the state plus another $600 from the feds. In NY the maximum is $1,104 ($504+$600) each week of unemployment.
Some people are making more on unemployment today than they earned on their last job. (The $600 additional unemployment each week from the federal government is that same amount regardless of what the person previously earned.)
