For certain jobs it's better to fire the workers so they can get unemployment benefits, rather than keep them without pay.

Fascinating. Do you suppose there are businesses that actually could keep their employees but are just throwing in the towel because their human capital will be easy to obtain after people can go back to work?

Oh definitely, and especially now with the unemployment benefits cap being nearly 4kUSD/month the decision is even easier.
