The following circumstances may disqualify you from collecting unemployment benefits:
Quit without good cause
Fired for misconduct
Resigned because of illness (check on disability benefits)
Left to get married
Self-employed
Involved in a labor dispute
Attending school
Check with the Unemployment Office if you have the above or other special circumstances

True. I have yet to meet anyone who has been denied UE after quitting their job. All you need is a good reason for leaving and voila, UE benefits are doled out.

MSNBC is NOT the source. Even a quick look makes it clear it's an AP article - carried by MANY sources (not JUST MSNBC). The question is - Why didn't FOX News report it? Probably because they don't really like reporting positive news about the economy right now since it doesn't fit their agenda.

Same (or similar story):

:: Baton Rouge Business Report :: More employees jump ship as economy improves

More quit their jobs as economy slowly improves - USATODAY.com

More employees jump ship as economy improves - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100609/ap_on_bi_ge/us_economy_quitting_time - broken link)

It's not just the UEI. Here in MI you also get a Bridge card so you no longer have to pay for groceries. Once the UEI and Bridge card are in hand, then they go to work under the table and clean up. The decent people who are too honest to participate in scamming the system are the ones who get screwed. Reward the dishonest and punish the honest. Classic liberalism!

Doled out and extended forever. Trust me, as soon as UEI is cut off the unemployment rate will drop like a rock. We have restaurants and stores here in SE Michigan with "NOW HIRING" banners up. Our unemployment rate is around 15% and no one wants those jobs.

So you are ADMITTING that the economy has turned around - even in MICHIGAN?

Good to know.
Now quit complaining about how bad the economy is.

Only in the ******* universe is people quitting jobs a good thing. Did the number of people not working decline? Did the number of hours worked increase? How about pay? Better benefits?

Those are the measures of an improving job market. More people quitting just means more people are quitting.

How many of these job quitters did so to work for the Census?

It just seems strange to me, that some people are so fervent in their wish for the economy to be in decline, they try to discredit the reports.

I wonder what the demographics are of people quitting jobs. Perhaps people under thirty are more optimistic and willing to take more risks. The oldest person interviewed in the USA article I read earlier was 27.

I doubt that many people are just quitting and running off into the wild, but quitting to take a new position. Especially those who have been locked into position for a bit, without upward mobility. You can interview and be accepted for a new job while being employed, and then quit. You aren't chained to the floor and beat for thinking about finding a new job.

I hope that anyone who is delusional enough to actually believe they can quit and expect to get hand outs learns a mighty painful lesson in ignoring reality. Either in the pro or anti position, insanity in one fashion is as bad as the other.
