The U.S. unemployment rate has drifted upward over the past year , fueling recession concerns.
The unemployment insurance program buckled during the Covid-19 pandemic under a deluge of claims.
"It absolutely isn't" ready for the next recession, a think tank senior fellow says.
13 states provide less than a maximum 26 weeks — or, six months — of unemployment benefits.
