    When you are fired or lose your job in america, you can get unemployment benefits, or pay to compensate until you can find another job. You have to be participating with your state’s program to get the money. If you quit your job, aka you choose to leave, you cannot get unemployment benefits. The government tracks this number of people it’s paying out to AS the unemployment rate. It’s always been another misnomer name, misleading.
