In my state, unemployment pays about $54,000 a year. That's more than a lot of full time jobs in the rural areas, more than a lot of retirees make too. Besides the fact that there is very little incentive to actually go find work, it provides plenty of money to go camping.
What state is that? That is over $1000 per week. Or does that include the$300 per week the fed is paying?

If I lived there, I would see this as a win/win. Motivating the out-of-staters to go to the private parks is good for their businesses and opens up more room at state parks for the locals.

We don't visit our state parks during peak times because you can't get a reservation, yet I don't think it's fair to increase rates so that it discourages out of state visitors.

Not so. There are still a lot of FS CG's that have plenty of room even on prime holiday weekends.

Sells out in an hour? You have 3 to 5 minutes in CA for anything good.
3 to 5 minutes? Try for FL in the winter, it is microseconds.
The weekend warriors are not a new thing. Most all of us were them not so long ago, just book earlier.
We go Sunday and come home Friday, problem solved.

Welcome to the new world of RV'ing. Covid/unemployment or not things aren't changing anytime soon. Probably won't change for years.
This problems been building up for the last 10 years.

Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one's thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. --Frederick Douglass
