For unemployment it does not matter if you make $20K a year or $100K. You are capped at $1240 a month in my state, and benefits expire after 7 months. Also you WILL be responsible for paying taxes from that.
I lived off of unemployment until June. Considering I got $1240 a month and my rent alone was $1224, it wasn't really living!!
Def take the job! You can still look around while you're continuing to work. Remember, it's harder to find a new job when you're unemployed! Good luck--
