The latest news is that unemployment benefits will be extended from 59 weeks to 79 weeks in California with the help of the new Federal stimulus money. The maximum benefit has risen to $475 a week and it means that some of the unemployed Californians could collect over $2000 a month for more than one and half years.

After all, more "free" money would make a person less motivated to find a job, right?
