It's personal experience - I have known a *lot* of unemployed people over my lifetime. And the majority of them have the attitude that they're not going to work unless they get a job equal to or better than what they just had.
They end up collecting this tiny check rather than making more at a lower-paying job with a lesser title (if it even has a title). It's like taking a job that they don't consider to be 'worthy' of them would be to admit defeat, where in my line of thinking, taking the check is worse than going and flipping burgers.
