When filing for the year, does Unemployment get taxed at 10% for my wife's income separately? Or will it be taxed at 28% for our married jointly income cause of my wages?

All of your combined income will be taxed at your tax rate on your joint return.

It will be taxed at 28% because it is added to your total joint income and taxed at your top tax bracket.

But filing separately will not save you anything. She may only pay 10% on her individual income; but more of your income will be taxed at 28% because of the lower thresholds on the Married Filing Separately ( MFS) brackets.

Unemployment comp withholding is normally done at 10%, but your actual tax rate will be applied.
