| Michigan News Michigan News  (2010-12-02)  The president's Council of Economic Advisers released a report that touts the need for extending benefits. The report says for the typical person getting unemployment, the benefits make up a third of the household income. "And in those 42 percent of households where the unemployed person was the sole wage earner, it's about 90 percent of the income," says presidential adviser Cecilia Rouse. "So it's quite an important source of income for these families." The report says about 620,000 people in Michigan received benefits through October. Republicans in Congress say the cost of extending the benefits is too high. They want to look at budget cuts and tax cut extensions first.
