Back in the early 80s, unemployement here in NJ was a lot different then it is today.
You had to go to the office, fill out papers, and actually talk to someone there on the first or second trip. Then you had to go there every two weeks to get your check. You had to bring a list of where you went looking for work, and I think they used to check. They had training classes, and also gave you a list of places that were looking for help.
Those were the days? That was the first and last time I 'collected' which was $120 per week. I lasted six weeks!
