"A minimum wage job pays $290 a week."

So?

That is the maximum. If you are a minimum wage worker, unemployment doesn't pay the maximum, but only a fraction of that. In Texas, that fraction is about 50%, with a cap around $370.

There is a huge difference between $290 a week and $150. The former is not adequate, the latter is much, much less so.

"i-node is right. Unemployment benefits discourage people from working at real jobs."

Only for the factually challenged.
