how much money can you make per year from unemployment

Answer 1

Just enough to be labeled a lazy azz bum! There is no way someone cannot go out and find a job within a week. A good paying job is different, but there are plenty of jobs that will pay you more than what unemployment will.

Answer 2

Unemployment is calculated as a percentage of what you were making while employed in the last calander year. It's 66% in my state.

You can't make much per year-- in most places, you are allowed a maximum of 26 weeks unemployment.
