Remember what I was saying about percentages? Well, apparently, there were some changes since your correspondent last collected Employment Insurance, because now, or that is, until now, you could earn 40% of your benefits, up from 25% last time I tried, which would have put me up to about 90% of my pre-loss wages. But then I open the news and see:
Why PEI? I guess because that's where a CBC reporter cares about this. But what's important is, you keep half of every dollar. Which sucks if you're in the less-than-40% bracket and now you're only getting 20% of your benefits; unless of course you get 40% free and half of the rest. You never know. But now it's actually worth working for those couple hundred dollars between 40% and 100% of your benefits.
I don't even always disagree with Harper. I just disagrees with the way he does everything.
