24. That stinks

That stinks, but as an aside, I guess I never realized how different each State was in compensation.
Wisconsin has never been over $375.00 a week. For the longest time it was $350.00 but I think during the first stimulus package it was upped to $375.00. I don't know if it went back down or not.

We also never had a waiting period, now you must wait a week.

What does each State pay? $535.00 a week seems like a lot (but $375.00 doesn't seem enough).
