Colorado and other states have seen a spike in filings this week. On March 9, about 400 people filed new claims in Colorado, but at 10 a.m. Tuesday, nearly 7,000 people were trying to enter their claims in the system, said Joe Barela, executive director of the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.
Barela says that two weeks ago, it took 10 minutes for callers to get through to the employment office. Now it takes at least an hour.In Ohio, 78,000 people filed for unemployment during the first three days of this week alone, compared to 6,500 in all of last week. In several states, including New York, Oregon and New Jersey so many people applied for unemployment that computers went down.
"We saw a record number of unemployment insurance applications, so many in fact that the state system crashed," New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said.
