HTN: State Jobless Systems Crashed Yesterday

The state's unemployment claims systems are back up and running, after they crashed Monday from the sheer volume of jobless New Yorkers trying to call or log in at once ahead of this week's filing deadline. As many as ten-thousand people per hour were trying to log into the system. The unemployed can file an on-line claim at labor.ny.gov or toll-free at (888) 209-8124.
