Florida inspector general report finds longstanding problems with state unemployment system
Read full article: Florida inspector general report finds longstanding problems with state unemployment systemThe 95-page draft report by Chief Inspector General Melinda Miguel focused on the Department of Economic Opportunity’s CONNECT unemployment system, which cost $78 million and began operating in 2013.
