Most of the funding for unemployment insurance come from federal and state taxes on employers the state tax rate varies from less than 1% to more than 15%, so the amount paid depends a great deal on where the company is located .Also, some states charge new employers whatever rate is the average for their industry, so the amount of tax paid in these states also depends on the type of business. Companies have therefore redoubled efforts to improve their experience ratings and control future costs for Unemployment Insurance. For example, helping laid-off workers finds a new job can shorten the time in which they are receiving benefits. Some state allow shared work arrangements, in which companies reduce wages and hours, and employees require partial Unemployment benefits, rather laying off workers.
