Quote:

In Australia you can receive unemployment benefits indefinitely. I think USA should be like this.


USA unemployment pay is quite a bit higher than Australian unemployment, but you are expected to get a job at some point.

In normal times six months is considered long enough. In recessions benefits are extended since it's not so easy to find a new job.
