I thought the US unemployment was really, really tight? Like you get cheques for a month or so then it was just food stamps and the like. Yes, I am entirely ignorant on this stuff.
Australia has work for the doll schemes that keep most people doing something, you also have to apply for a certain amount of jobs and the employer reports to the unemployment guys if you're not really trying.
