Can you file for unemployment as a perdiem worker

Question

I was recently laid off as a per diem worker in florida and having a hard time finding another job so i just wanted to know if this was possible

Answer 1

Normally no.  A per diem worker is basically hired by the day for that one day and does not accumulate time.

Answer 2

Normally you would not be eligible for unemployment benefits.

Answer 3

If you mean you were a temporary worker, no, I don't believe you can file for unemployment.  You can go to a day labor place or a staffing agency to find employment if you're having a hard time.
