Unemployment in the US is currently reaching unprecedented levels. Businesses are struggling financially, and individuals are facing challenging circumstances. The longer we remain in quarantine due to the Coronavirus, the worse the economic decline becomes. The situation has become so dire that unemployment benefits are now being impacted. Additionally, New York State has recently reached a critical point in this ongoing pandemic.
A few days ago, the New York unemployment system collapsed. The reason that this happened is because it received a significant surge in people attempting to claim unemployment. In a recent press conference, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo had this to say.
“It’s unbelievable,” “One thousand people just to take the incoming unemployment calls. That’s how high the volume is; they still can’t keep up with it.”
New York currently has the highest number of Covid-19 Cases in the country at the moment. With unemployment rates and corona cases continuing to rise, this is a picture of what is to come if the pandemic continues. So please everyone, wear masks if you go outside and practice social distancing. The sooner we start doing these the soon we can get out of this mess.
