Apparently the State of Florida thinks it's okay to pay people less than minimum wage when they're on unemployment. I lost my job (not through any misconduct), and they're paying me $212/week before taxes. Consider that I was working 40 hours per week in a non-restaurant setting, and that comes out to around $5.03/hour (the minimum wage for tipped employees). Minimum wage is $8.05 for non-tipped employees. This is outrageous. If I wasn't married, I'd be out on the streets, considering they're also really slow in disbursing payments, even if you do every little thing they ask of you in a timely manner.
