Unemployment Insurance Should Not Penalize Someone For Working.?
If a Person is laid off and files to collect unemployment while scheduling job interviews. That person then finds that the job offered will pay less than the unemployment insurance would pay (both are big cuts from the job that was lost). Is it right that unemployment can't help make up that difference? Is the person being financially penalized by taking the job? This is a real-life. Please, look into the whole story:

Actually in most states, if you earnings are less than the amount that you are eligible for in unemployment payments, the state will issue the difference.
For example, if you are eligible for $300 per week in payments, to pick a round number, here in NJ if you earn $260, when you file you will be issued a payment for the $40. I'm not aware of any states that don't have some form of this system.

They cannot require you to accept any specific job offers, and if they tell you this then talk to the justice department in your state and demand that labor be investigated for doing so and contact the local news and see if they're interested as well.

No. The government shouldn't "make up the difference" if you can not find a job that matches the pay of your previous job.
