I'm a 52-year-old small business owner in Oklahoma who's been on unemployment since February. Here's how I'm getting by

takes readers deep inside the decimated American workforce.She ran a small business making and selling cheer uniforms and dance costumes, but hasn't had clients since February, when many local schools and performances were shut down.

Our district just announced they're delaying the start of school, and no school or activities means no business for me. Because of the CARES Act, I'm able to collect pandemic unemployment, which I'm very thankful for; however, Oklahoma UI is $189 a week. I'm determined to not get behind on my house payment, but we've had to cut back on things like groceries, are unable to buy school clothes for my son, and are falling behind on other bills.

Clearly, our system was outdated and that didn't help, but Oklahoma was also more concerned about fraud than processing claims. At one point, there were four different places on the homepage about reporting fraud, but you couldn't find the link to actually apply. They had a huge banner on the page that said, "Get back to work Oklahoma." It felt totally tone deaf, and is easier said than done.
