Like seriously, time is money right? I’m sure most people can relate to wasting time on numerous applications before ever landing a job. If they set that into law, employers will probably be much less likely to reject applicants, and even when they do, you still get paid for your wasted time.

Edit: I’m not particularly referring to the application part alone, I’m referring to application + interview = rejection. People should get paid for someone calling you in, only to end up wasting your time. Hell, I could have spent that time better at the sperm bank.

      The last time I had unemployment, it was a lousy $64 per week, and only for 3 months no less. Unemployment is a joke.

        Depends on your income before you were unemployed… My wife is drawing it right now and it’s something like $450 a week for her.

          I was working for 6 days a week, 6 hours a day, for $10 per hour, for over 2 years. Yes, $10 an hour sounds like chump change these days, but this was back in like 2007.

          Still…

          Ah yes, only 17% what I make in a week at a job. Surely that’ll keep my household running efficiently
