According to the item "What is the Formula for Compensation?" in the Related Link below, it would be the lesser of 1/4 of the wages in the base period or 26 times the weekly benefit (total) for wages earned in the base period.
It would depend on: 1) What state you worked in, 2) Whether your state allowed unemployment for reduced wages/salary, 3) How much the wages/salary were reduced from the customary wages/salary you earned, and 4) If there were any kind of contract or written agreement/union involved.
Unemployment benefits depend on your work history and wages earned in the base year. Also, not all states give an allowance for the unemployed person having a family. Check with your employment security office for details.
The amount of benefits you receive is entirely dependant on the state employment office where you work, not the hourly wages you made. It generally it's based on the total wages you earned in a specific time period relative to when you file, called a base year, and normally is the period of the first 4 of the last 5 full calendar quarters you worked.
Your weekly benefits would be 50% of your normal weekly wages, with these limitations: the total maximum amount is the lesser of 1) 26 times the weekly benefit, or 1/3 of the total base period wages. Base period is the first 4 quarters of the last 5 complete quarters worked. See the Related Link below.
Unemployment is a force that leads to greater competition in the workforce and a reduction in wages. A person might not be paid as much to do a job as a former worker. Unemployment forces more people to apply for jobs that are unskilled because they cannot find the ones they are skilled for.
The criteria is not whether the job was full or part time, but on the time period worked and wages earned. For example, they use 2 methods: 1) In two quarters of the first 4 quarters of the last 5 quarters completed, you had to earn $2871 and the total of all four quarters had to be 1 1/2 times the wages in the highest quarter. The second method, at least $16,574.60 earned total for 4 quarters. Refer to the Related Link below.

The state handbook provides that: "Your weekly benefit rate is one twenty-sixth (1/26) of the high quarter wages paid to you in your base period. Exception: If your high quarter wages are $3,575 or less, your weekly benefit rate is one twenty-fifth of your high quarter wages. Wages are applied to the quarter in which they are paid. The maximum rate is $405." You can finds links to the handbook and other New York unemployment resources at: http://click-for.info/unemployment/newyorkunemployment.html
You apparently have to work a minimum of six months and have earned certain amounts of wages, which are all explained in Kentucky Revised Statutes, 341.350 (5) Conditions of Qualifications for Benefits in the Related Link below.
It depends on their prior work history. Unemployment looks at a 12-month "base" period, so it depends on how much they worked during that 12-month base period. It does not have to be for a single employer. The base period has a specific calculation. If the employee was let go in Jan, Feb, or Mar 2010, for example, the EDD would look at the wages earned during Oct 2008-Sept 2009. (Yes, believe it or not!)
The BLS reports that physician assistants earned mean annual wages of $77,800 in 2007. Those working in residential mental retardation, mental health, and substance abuse clinics earned the highest wages for the profession, with mean earnings of $104,310. Physician assistants working in physician's offices--the field's largest employer--earned $77,620. hope this helped :)
