Their report states there was an additional 954,000 households earning more than $100,000 a year also received unemployment benefits during the Great Recession. This includes a report from Bloomberg stating, 2,840 millionaire households who received unemployment benefits in 2008, and that 816,700 beneficiaries earned between $100,000 and $1 million that year.

The unemployment rate stands at 8.1%
