For several months last year there was a $600 a week federal unemployment supplement, and there has been $300 a week since the beginning of this year (it expired a couple weeks ago).
Netting out $400 a week (state+federal) isn't a huge amount of money of course.
Several other rules were also changed, but there are still limits on the number of weeks people can collect unemployment.
What I've seen here and there is that the states that ended benefits earlier did see a small bump in employment (but not a particularly meaningful one).
