No. Should that be a temporary increase until federal benefits run out? Should it go to current employees? What if they're paid different rates, do they suddenly make the same amount? Even if they increase it to be somewhat more than the government is paying people, you're still competing with them getting income for doing absolutely nothing. This is all coming from someone that is also getting unemployment. However, it's less than I normally make - significantly so, depending on the week. It's a shame state unemployment systems apparently couldn't cope with a percentage increase rather than a flat number.
