White, J.,
dissenting.
As recently as Gilbert v. Hanlon, 214 Neb. 676, 680, 335 N.W.2d 548, 551 (1983), this court said:
We believe that a more appropriate reading of both the language of § 48-628 and the intent and purpose of the Nebraska Employment Security Law (Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 48-601 to 48-699) is to interpret § 48-628(a) such that one is disqualified for benefits if, by leaving work voluntarily without good cause, one thereby makes himself or herself “unemployed.”
Janine A. Nuss, by leaving the employ of the Sharon Motel and accepting higher paid employment, did not render herself unemployed. Therefore, she was eligible for unemployment benefits. I would have so held.
Shanahan, J., joins in this dissent.
