Cut in Benefits to Have Big Impact on California Jobless
Unemployed workers in rural California are bracing for next
Saturday: the day the state’s chronically unemployed will be cut
off from the nation’s jobless benefits. A drop in California’s
unemployment rate to 11 percent – its lowest mark in three years
– is triggering the federal cutoff of emergency long-term
unemployment pay to at least 93,000 Californians.
