Unemployment in Washington Just Got a Burger Better

People filing for unemployment benefits in the state of Washington might want to wait until after after July 3, when a slated benefits increase will occur. The weekly minimum will go up a whopping $3 to $138. The maximum benefit will go up $13 to $583. On the low end, that's an extra burger a week. On the high end, you could go to a movie -- but you'll probably have to smuggle in your own soft drinks.
