One of the dirty secrets the report does not contain is the number of people rejected for unemploment insurance. States are seriously backlogged at getting claims processed so those in the backlog are not included in the report. The number of people that have failed to get their claims approved number in the hundreds of thousands. Colorado, for instance, is at least two months behind, and that’s the official and low number. So, if we were to include the number of people waiting to get their UI claims processed the number for the week would be at least 1000,000 higher.
Well then, it appears Moonbeam laid off the unemployment counters.
How in the world are these people surviving if Colordo is 2 MONTHS behind in processing new unemployment claims?
