Refuting the claim that unemployment insurance causes unemployment: a study shows it is mostly false.

Note that the claim really argues for lower wages; but US wages for many jobs are not enough to live on, so they must be raised.

The US has many other policies that discourage employment, which we should change. For instance, charging employers for social security and medical care is a mistake. That money should be obtained by taxing rich people and businesses' income, independent of how much they pay to workers.
