According to the Detroit Free Press, unemployed workers from Michigan who are still looking for jobs are getting another 7 weeks of unemployment insurance benefits.
Michigan, which has the highest unemployment rate in the country now has a maximum of 79 weeks of unemployment insurance coverage for those people out-of-work---(I can't tell if this is considered a Tier 3 or Tier 4 extension to Michigan's unemployment program).
In addition to this extension of coverage, earlier this year---the weekly benefit in Michigan increased by $25 as part of the Obama Stimulus, this is a big help--as nearly 1 in 5 Michiganders are looking for full time work.
