From JSONLINE: The voices taunt thousands of Wisconsin's unemployed.
Here's what happens: Unemployed people call a hotline run by the Department of Workforce Development to check on their claims for unemployment benefits or to answer agency questions about their application.
The calm, recorded voice of a woman says: "To speak with the next available claims specialist, press 0."
But about 86% of the time, the caller is soon disconnected with a simple "Goodbye" from the calm, recorded voice of a man.
The callers still don't know why their unemployment checks haven't hit their bank account, and they can't ask a live person any questions.
Yep, Jim Doyle and a Democrat Senate and Assembly at work. And there is no one else to blame.
When a person loses a job, they need a government agency to be responsive. Most people who are newly unemployed are experiencing it for the first time and they need the help to navigate through the system. The newly unemployed (and yes, I have been there in the past)can panic and then they get hung up on, that will add to the stress.
99% of the people will realize that someone should be held responsible for this and join the ranks of the unemployed. (what irony) But in Jim Doyle's administration, it just won't happen. Hell, even Obama will throw people under the bus.
Let's hope this situation will improve on Tuesday because people want to work and they want the government to work with them to get them employed.
