The COVID-19 pandemic has had the most dramatic impact on the U.S. economy since the Great Recession that began in 2007. Millions of Americans soon found work drying up or were forced into furloughs due to restrictive public health measures meant to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. According to the Congressional Research Service, unemployment rates hit a historic high of 14.8%, a figure not seen since data collection of this kind began in 1948.

According to CNBC, almost 33 million Americans were receiving unemployment benefits as of June 20, 2020, which was nearly five times as many as were doing so at the height of the Great Recession of 2007-2009. While these numbers are leveling out, thanks to additional benefits provided by Congress through both the CARES Act passed under the Trump administration and the American Rescue Plan under the Biden administration, struggling Americans have been able to continue to receive additional unemployment benefits as the pandemic drags on. Here is a guide to the unemployment benefits resources available in each state, provided by CareerOneStop.
