I was laid off in early February and now, in June, I'm facing the end of my state unemployment benefits. Living in Kansas, I learned that benefits only last for 16 weeks, and with the unemployment rate at a low 3.9%, there are no extensions available. After taking a month off to regroup, I started applying for jobs in late March. April was pretty slow for interviews, but things picked up in May with 1-3 interviews each week. Unfortunately, I haven't received any job offers yet. The thought of my benefits running out soon is making me anxious, but I do have some savings to fall back on if necessary. The job market feels really competitive, but I'm trying to stay positive. I'm curious how others are managing as their benefits come to an end.
