10. Another Factor That Impact Unemployment is Severance Packages

Big companies have laid off many many people. They won't be in the UE numbers until they file their initial UE claim after their paid severance period runs out. Off topic but I've seen stories saying Fed UE claims are initially denied since they are shown as being for "performance issues". Worse, their appeals are not being finalized because the Administration won't respond. Their appeals can't get a judicial review without this response. The Feds know they will lose these appeals so they are just being cruel.
