I figure, by definition, the amount that you can pull from Unemployment Compensation relative to your job history. I suppose that's between 50% and 75% of what you're used to living on - something like that. I guess it averages around 60% of your normal wage.
Maximum unemployment payout is US$420/week and you still have to pay taxes on it. You get 6 months and then you get a 3 month extension if there happens to be one in place usually signed by the President of the US ever 1-2 years.

Unemployement insurance only defrayed some of our normal living expenses.
