Ah, right.  In Canada it's 55% of your insured earnings up to a maximum
insured earnings rate of $44,200.  Maximum payment of $486 per week, or
$12.15/h.  You'd have to have been earning less than $14.54/h for $8/h to
break even with that -- and why work at $8/h when you can focus on hunting
for a better paying job. Now, I think you can also earn up to 25% of your
benefit before they start to reduce the benefit. So at the max... you could
put in two days at $8/h to supplement your income and spend the other three
job hunting.
