Many unemployment clients have been extremely frustrated since the change over in DUA website back in May. While I understand that the state is claiming a loss in staff is the caused the issue leading to a 7 week median wait time, I believe much of the problems stems from issues related to the new website not function correctly. This problem is only going to get worse as The US economy added 64,000 jobs in November as the unemployment rate crept up to 4.6%, according to Labor Department data published Tuesday. The unemployment rate is now at its highest level since September 2021.
