Unemployment # is much higher than that. People are unable
to file. I know several individuals who have yet to complete
the process. Online enrollment has problems, people cannot
complete the application and are required to call...call volume is
overwhelming the system...people can't get through. I know
someone who has tried for hours each day throughout April.
eventually gets through only to receive a message that the
unemployment office has reached it call limit for the day.
Unfortunately, the numbers are going higher before new claims
slow down.
