I'm scratching my head trying to understand this.

My experience with unemployment is that it pays 40% of what your average pay was over the last 6 months up to a certain maximum. That maximum is pretty low: last time I was unemployed, I think I got a total of about $12,000 in unemployment benefits over an 8-month period. Most people can't live on 40% of their income and for the select few who can, it's because 40% of their income would be far above the unemployment cap, so they wouldn't be able to do it either.

What makes you think people aren't taking jobs because they don't want unemployment to end?
