If you're not confused you're not paying attention

    The decline in the unemployment rate is likely because of the number of people exhausting their unemployment insurance and exiting the labor force, which of course implies a much higher rate of unemployment (we think up to 3 percentage points) than the official data suggests.

Mine run out in two weeks. There's another add-on approved by who knows who but the eligibility requirements are different. I think I'm technically at 54 weeks unemployed right now.
