Connecticut makes up more than half the wages the workers lose because of shorter workweeks. New York participates in the programme, too. States have different unemployment insurance formulas, but generally, a worker being paid $600 a week, if laid off, might receive $300 in jobless benefits. With work-sharing, if that worker’s hours drop 20 percent, wages would fall to $480 and work-sharing would make up at least half of the lost wages.
