In some states, you cannot turn down certain offers when you are collecting unemployment. In New York state, for instance, you are required to accept any suitable offers if you are collecting.
Suitable work usually means an offer that is in your field or any field that is related to a skill that you have. Compensations must also be comparable.
In light of what is going on with the Coronavirus, many healthcare facilities and even some heads of state are offering big bucks for people to join the industry or return to it.
In recent weeks, unemployment offices are seeing record numbers of new claims due to the Coronavirus. The pandemic is causing havoc all over the world. Developed and undeveloped countries, big or diminutive, most countries are offering some sort of a stimulus package to aid the ones that are less blessed.
While brave first respondents are doing their best to minimize the further spread of COVID-19, they are the ones who are affected the most. They are required to provide support but are receiving inadequate help.

Initial unemployment claims climbed by 55,000 to 280 thousand on 15 January. This is a significant increase compared with the low levels reached late last year, but it’s not nearly as high or widespread as you would have seen during pandemic times when people were dropping out of work due lack-of -of demand for their skillset.
As you can see, two points are made within each, quote-firstly stating that “unemployment” went down, and secondly, mentioning what month/year these stats came out, which helps us remember exactly how good our luck was. During those times when everything seemed hopeless!
