Unemployment insurance doesn't always lead to more joblessness or hurt the economy. The idea that it does is based on unrealistic assumptions. Realistic models show that unemployment rates can stay the same and the economy can still do well with better unemployment insurance. Studies back this up. Unemployment insurance can help people without harming the economy.
