Do they need a reason anymore? Most US is at-will to work.

They don't need a reason to fire you. They need a reason to fire you and not pay unemployment benefits.

unemployment benefits are so low do they really care that much?

Unemployment benefits for me would be 3% annually of my annual salary.

Unemployment benefits are so low, they're barely enough to pay for food. Not enough to also pay for utilities, and definitely not enough to pay rent/mortgage.

This is intended to force you back into the slave market.

They don't pay the benefits directly. They pay a tax rate based on how many people who file for unemployment benefits are determined to be eligible for them.

All of the US is at-will except Montana.
