Studies show that most unemployed who are not desperate, put off looking for work until unemployment checks are ready to run out.
Thus, extended unemployment benefits have a negative impact on unemployment statistics. Extending benefits tends to make the unemployment rolls greater, as it’s generally a disincentive for seeking jobs.
But the media operates with just selective reportage. They find a small percentage who truly need more benefits and make it appear that all the unemployed require to be on a dole forever, or else they starve. (See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
