Unemployment Insurance Research
The national unemployment insurance program was developed in 1935 in response to the Great Depression and is designed to pay benefits to individuals who are unemployed through no fault of their own. Because unemployment insurance benefits allow unemployed individuals and their families to continue paying bills, it helps maintain the incomes and spending power of stores, landlords, banks and comunity service providers. Unemployment insurance softens the blow and reduces the snowball effect that job losses can have on the economy. Unemployment insurance promotes stability by making it possible for employers to retain workers during the off-season or during a short downturn. The Idaho Department of Labor gathers unemployment insurance data to study, analyze, model and forecast the economic impact of unemployment on the state's economy.

Despite Congress failing to identify a way to pay for it, thousands of Idaho's unemployed workers will see extended federal benefits restored soon after legislation to resume those benefit payments won final congressional approval.
 
Legislation was approved and signed this week to resume the extended benefit program through Nov. 30 and retroactive to the end of May, when the legislation authorizing the benefits expired. All four members of Idaho’s congressional delegation supported extending benefits but voted against the bill because it failed to include any provision for how to pay for continuing the program.
 
“We won’t let those who are unable to find work through no fault of their own suffer, but Congress would do well to listen to the Idaho delegation’s legitimate concerns about spending money they don’t have,” Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter said. “Congress is ruining a great worker-and-employer-funded program by turning it into another open-ended federal entitlement for which Idaho taxpayers are on the hook. Our jobless Idahoans should at least get the benefits.”
