Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted told reporters that a spike in unemployment had caused an issue with a website for jobless claims.
Ohio has faced"unprecedented" demand for unemployment benefits this week—but will not be releasing jobless claim numbers amid the COVID-19 pandemic, under a request from the Department of Labor.
Appearing at a press conference on the coronavirus with Gov. Mike DeWine, Lt. Gov. Husted said:"First of all, we've been asked by the U.S. Department of Labor not to release our numbers on unemployment, so we're following that guidance. Fox 8 reported on Monday that Ohio's Department of Job and Family Services received a"record number" of initial jobless claims over the previous week. The surge in demand reportedly caused the state's unemployment website to go down under a"heavy volume" of traffic.
