On the recordFebruary 25, 2010
I have before me a chart on workers losing Federal unemployment benefits at the beginning of March. It notes 'Workers Exhausting Regular State Benefits without Additional Federal Extensions' as 380,000 workers. Then there is an additional column that says 'Workers Prematurely Exhausting Their Federal Benefits' at the start of March: 813,000. I am rounding off. It has a 'total' column that says, for the United States as a whole: 1,193,838 individuals lose their benefits. As I am reading this chart, my impression is they are losing their benefits at the end of February if we do not have an extension. Am I reading this correctly?
