Unemployment?
 
Quick story this morning on the morning news (and not repeated, but I was watching the local 5am to 7am part, so it may be repeated later) about a potential crash of the unemployment system.

Thought I would mention it and see if anyone else had seen anything else on this.

Re: Unemployment?
 
All I have to say about the unemployment system is that it is woeful and doesn't do enough to help workers. When I lost my job nearly 5 years ago, unemployment only amounted to $150 a week and it was not enough to pay bills, etc. I ended up going into debt until I could find a job.

How about this story from Newsday:

and from USA Today:

and from walletpop.com (referring to a Columbus Dispatch story):

Ohio unemployment claims crash the system

and from CBS News (referring to problems in several states):
