Something everyone is forgetting to mention is the apparent labour shortage that already exists and will continue to exist and be a problem in the foreseeable future. Obviously most of those jobs are labour intensive, but life isn't always handed to you on a silver spoon.
If you apply for every single job out there and nothing works for the time being, collecting EI shouldn't be a problem. The problem is when people collect EI without even attempting to find work because the work that is available isn't something they WANT to do.
Just browsing through the job search websites, there are a ton of different kinds of jobs available. From a store manager at 7-11 to a senior developer for Microsoft. So there is work out there, but obviously people are being extremely picky about what they do considering that the unemployment numbers aren't really moving despite record amounts of jobs being created the past few months.
