Unemployment assistance

I recently left my role after 2 years and finding it difficult to find a new position - not as easy as expected.


I live in the Uster area.


My wife is still employed and working, although its suggested it is possible for me claim some form of unemployment benefit. At 80% of my previous salary (capped)


Can anyone assist who has been in the same position?


Is an assessment made on a) Income of the whole family - so wife income too? b) years in country c) valid work permit duration d) terms of leaving previous employment d) balances in my account / wealth


I am a complete novice on this one!


Any help is greatly apprecaited.
