Analyzing the Value of an Alternative

An individual is currently unemployed and searching for a job. They receive a weekly unemployment benefit. After considering the value of their leisure time and the effort required to search for a job, they determine that the lowest wage they would accept for a new job is $15 per hour. This $15 per hour figure represents the monetary value they place on their current situation.

Suppose this individual's unemployment benefits are about to expire, and they will no longer receive the weekly payment. All other aspects of their situation remain the same. How will this change affect the monetary value they place on their situation as an unemployed job-searcher? Justify your answer.
