Example: we have a plant in Utah, our line associates make $15 an hour or $31200 annually based on 2080 hours.

Fed plus state unemployment was paying them $42000 to stay home at the start of the pandemic and is paying the $32400 now.

This example doesn’t include that there was no tax on the federal unemployment making it probably closer to $50k+ annually

Ill modify step two to say that unemployment should not exceed 75% of your previous working years earnings. I would not need 100% to quit and stay home, if I was over 85% of my pay to stay home i'd be gone lol
