Yes. As a single man in my 20's, when I would get laid off from restaurant jobs (I worked in an area with a large share of summer tourism and september layoffs were common) I would spend the full time on unemployment because the wage difference was pretty minimal. Even now in my mid-30s, when I was laid off for covid I waited until the expanded benefits were almost exhausted for the exact same reason (I actually made about 20 dollars more per paycheck on unemployment during the pandemic than I did at the Digital PM job I was let go from). The term "fun-employment" is frequently used for people who have negligible difference in quality of life between employment/unemployment.
