Mine are entirely young, lower-class, and without family. They've all been students in the recent past, which corresponds to an inexpensive lifestyle... and they still get the same amount of unemployment as anyone else. One particularly striking example is a fellow who works summers fighting fires for the forest service, and is "unemployed" the rest of the year. It's not a safety net or insurance in his case, it's planned (I'm unsure as to whether he's able to do this repeatedly, or only for the one year).
