Even many long-running TV shows lay off a large fraction of their staff over the summer and hire them again in the fall. They receive unemployment payments all summer. Shows can run for decades this way.
It's very cheeky since I'm pretty sure the taxpayer doesn't really want to subsidize three-month vacations for people who make decent money.
- Pulcinella 9y agoUnemployment benefits are largely funded by employers, not taxpayers.
