My understanding of unemployment (and I've never taken unemployment, so this is based on very limited knowledge) is that you have to show evidence of at least three job applications per week.
If that's true and you've applied for over 300 jobs and not made progress, maybe the problem isn't the job market.
At some point, this free money has to dry up.

I do agree at a certain point the money does have to dry up.
I will say this though it needs to be done in shifts. Folks that haven't been working for a long time will and I really hate to say this, be cut off. I know Michigan is hard hit, but it may be time to move. It isn't any accident that the census shows Dallas-Fort Worth having the largest population increase. Sometimes you gotta leave and start over.
