Would I qualify for unemployment insurane?New Jersy

I am an employee of a very large women’s retail company. I have worked there for 5 ½ years. I started as an associate and have been an assistant manager for the last 2 ½ years. Last fall a key-holder was promoted and transferred to our store. She had been with company for 1 ½ years. She let it slip to me how much she was making which is $3 an hour more then I am making. Apparently all the assistants at that store are all making that same amount. Considering how long I have been at the company and my experience I feel this is unjust. I talked with my store manager and she agreed. She brought the question of a pay raise up thru the ranks. They will not grant the raise due to pay freezes. My question is…would I qualify for unemployment insurance if a resigned now?
