It actually works pretty good. That's how it works in Switzerland. Everyone pays around 1% of their salary and people who lose their job draw 80% of salary up to around 8k/mo for around a year and a half. This goes for contractors as well as permanent employees.
I think we spend more time and money worrying about people abusing the system then what the abusers themselves actually cost. Most people want to work if they can because you get more money that way.
