Yet there is a thing called PRIDE that some people would not enlist government assistance nor would they seek after unemployment benefits (a company would have to agree to that anyway - ask anyone in HR).

My aunt found herself in the same position not too long ago. She and her husband started up something called the "CEO College," training CEOs to deal with the public relations aspects of their jobs. They're now doing quite well, and they're completely self-sufficient.

And how many people have the will-power to begin something like this! Again, you are talking about personal experience and not something that happens 90% percent of the time (if not greater).

100% of people who work for minimum wage are eligible for benefits. Whether or not they take advantage is at their sole discretion.

I agree...they maybe eligible but that doesn't mean that they will tap into that resource.
