Description: Two years after the official end of the recession, Florida still has a jobs deficit of nearly 981,000 jobs, and some groups of workers are faring far worse than others in the economy, according to the annual State of Working Florida report to be released on Sunday by the Research Institute on Social and Economic Policy at Florida International University.

Description: Unemployment compensation was created in 1935 by the Social Security Act and serves two main purposes: 1) providing benefits to workers out of work through no fault of their own, and2) maintaining purchasing power and stabilizing the economy. Florida has one of the strictest systems in the country based on its rankings among other states on eligibility criteria, benefit amounts, and recipiency rates, and robust scrutiny of claims. Therefore it is unlikely that many people are receiving unemployment compensation who are not entitled to it, while certain groups of workers who should be entitled to compensation are excluded under the law. Unemployment compensation has provided a net benefit to Florida’s economy of over $9.8billion since the beginning of the recession, combining both the state program and federal extension programs. UC has been shown in previous studies to be one of the most effective stabilizers of the economy and a more effective stimulus than other methods such as tax cuts.
