CNN’s Rosa Flores on Florida Paying Only 17 Percent of Unemployment Claims: It ‘Has Been Broken for Years’

‘Florida’s unemployment system is such a mess, people have taken to the streets to protest’

EXCERPT:

CAMEROTA: "More than 26 million Americans have lost their jobs during this pandemic. The situation in Florida is particularly bad. More than a million people have applied for benefits but only 17% have gotten paid. CNN’s Rosa Flores is live in Miami with more. What’s going wrong there, Rosa?"
FLORES: "Alisyn, the Florida unemployment system has been broken for years. I talked to an expert yesterday who says that the state’s own audit revealed, for the past three years, serious issues with the unemployment system that have never been fixed. On top of that, add a pandemic and it’s a recipe for disaster."
