Maybe I'm not clear on what you are saying. Are you saying that a person who makes $3000 per month wouldn't need EI to survive until they find their next job?
Most people tend to live paycheck to paycheck, regardless of their income. If a person making $3000 per month (or $30,000 per month for that matter) loses his job it's a financial disaster for him/her.
Perhaps so. I'll admit I'm basing my charicature on those in my age group who rake in the big bucks and spend it on cars and dance exchanges or other toys.
Most average people however still do have rainy-day saving, RRSP's, credit, and other sources they can turn to in a bind.
My initial point still stands - I'm not able to reap the benefit of what I've sowed into it. My EI deductions go to profit the richer unemployed.
