Workers who have suddenly found themselves without a paycheck because of the growing coronavirus pandemic in the United States are now dealing with another frustration — state unemployment websites crashing because of high traffic
.
A user whose Twitter account says she is from Columbus, Ohio, posted that the unemployment website in her area"can only handle about 3 people at a time apparently." Story continues"I can't login or certify for benefits," one person wrote Tuesday."Second day in a row. It currently says 'We are sorry, our systems are currently not available. Please come back later and try again.'"
In New Jersey, Gov. Phil Murphy said at a press conference on Tuesday that the state saw a"record number of unemployment applications" on Monday, which caused the system to crash. He said it was since restored. Some workers in Oregon have had similar problems. According to The Register-Guard, the state's unemployment website went down briefly Monday shortly after Gov. Kate Brown announced that she was restricting restaurants and bars to carry-out and delivery service for the next four weeks.
