Ohio’s unemployment rate highest in 25 years

Ohio’s unemployment rate hit a 25 year-high when it reached 9.7 percent in March, according to new data released Friday, April 17 by the state Department of Job and Family Services.

The last time Ohio’s unemployment rate hit 9.7 percent was April 1984.

Nationwide, the unemployment rate for March was 8.5 percent, up from 8.1 percent in February.

The U.S. unemployment rate for March was 8.5 percent, up from 8.1 percent in February.

All told, there are 578,000 Ohioans looking for work, up from 567,000 in February when the unemployment rate was 9.5 percent. Just a year ago, the state jobless rate was 6.1 percent.

Hope for released inmates such as James, the corrections system in Ohio institutes a spell-check program for the inmates , so they can learn to spell correctly while serving their felonies. It is obvious with his vocabulary that he has spent the majority of his life incarcerated in the penal system, and spelling classes would help them tremendously when, or if they are returned to society.

Hi Paula, That makes since then as I had my benefit year end in April, so I had to serve another waiting week.I was counting 12 weeks and ended up getting 10….Totals are right then. Thanx for the clarification.

By paula

May 12, 2009 11:16 AM | Link to this

The totals should be 10 weeks retro + $25 for week ending 5/9/09 total fac of $275. that is what I got. I do direct deposit, so I receive payment weekly. If you receive every 2 weeks, total may be less than weekly amount until next check.

Wish Ohio had some a$$ and would stand up to corporations like the one i worked for. Was bought by a Texas firm and took my $13 hour job to Texas, which is now getting done for min wage by Mexican workers. I am not prejudice in any way,but damn I needed this job. Guy who sold it made millions over his career, so they can’t tell me they wasn’t making enough $$…They want it all..!!

Encouraging news, Marvin and Paula! I just checked again and now the site looks to be crashing. :-) I wonder then, will the $25 be a separate deposit each week? Looks that way, might explain the 3 emails. Whew… this is going to be a big relief to all of us. It has been tough out here.

Just noticed when I logged into my Claim Summary for Ohio Unemployment, they have gone back to 2/28/09 and changed the payments to read “Paid, FAC.” So it looks like the reprogramming has been completed, because the “FAC” part wasn’t showing up last week. I also have three email notices on the website from today, but none of them will open! Hopefully one of the emails contains good news? It looks to me like maybe this is the week Ohioans will receive our FAC, though. Keep your fingers crossed!

I now see paid, FAC for all dates starting on 2/28 to current. In my payment history I only see my standard payment, but I do see two payment correspondence notices for 4/11. Since I am unable to access the messages at this time, it’s still up in the air whether or not I’ll receive the additional payment.

James,just checked my account i dont see nothing extra in my account.They told me friday since i am on federal extension i would also get mine by today.Nothing zero extra i have to say this is getting out of hand,now i have to wait another two weeks and they probly will give me another b.s. lie in two more weeks.Douglas lumpkin should have paid the money when he got the check,instead he used the recovery money to pay odjfs payroll and vacation in flordia.No other state has pulled this b.s. to their people. we are the dead last state not to receive the recovery money sent to the state.This is starting to look like a ponzi scam. I bet lumpkin will run odjfs into the ground and unemployment goes belly up and they wont pay half of us recovery money. They just got a federal loan and they still cant pay people, goes to tell you lumpkin withheld again to pay odjfs payroll. To him we are just mushrooms keep us in the dark and feed us poo! He refuses to lay off workers at odjfs they dont need and has the nerves to have a hiring sign up! Its time lumpkin get fired or start thinking of struggling ohioains first and odjfs worker last. They are the ones lucky enough to have a job because they use recovery money to pay them and retain them .While they surf the web all day long. lay off odjfs i.t. techs and middle and upper mangement if you cant afford them! If you cant get a system reprogramed within 11 weeks you deserve to get fired!

rofl james! Great response karen just gave herself up so bad i know she works for odjfs. Karen just goes to prove what odjfs workers do while at work and that is surf the web all day long, buying stuff with our recovery check. karen you sound so stupid its not even funny. you went to college but work at walmart dont make no sense what so ever. you are a odjfs worker and walmart was the first thing that came to mind as a place of employment because that where you spend all of our recovery money at every week. You have no idea what people are going thur why dont you try living on less then 35% of your regualar paycheck try it for 3 months! and if you work at walmart you live in the ghetto guaranteed so your trailer park trash they dont pay more then 7.00 a hour their so you make 200.00 a week their after taxes. Try living on 70.oo per week karen thats 35% thats 10.00 per day could you live on that? Can you save anything with only making 10.00 per day? no so stfu karen you odjfs skank !

Just becasue someone works at Walmart doesnt mean they dont have an education. I have graduated high school and currently have many college credits. The point is you are all sitting here bashing people when you dont have all the research. Who do you think hired this Lumpkin guy your bitching about?? Strickland correct? Why not look stuff up to backup your rants on here. I’m not stting here taking sides trust me. I know numerous people on unemplyment including my boyfriend who got laid off. But instead of sitting here pointing fingures at everyone why not look into what the real problem is.

So just because I said something you disagree with makes me a odjfs worker? I work at a Walmart and dont really make that good of money, yet I am not sititng here complaing about people taking money that wasnt thiers to begin with. I agree that it is bull that Ohio is the last state to receive the money, but sitting here complaning about it on a forum is going to do nothing. You all need to relize that Columbus isnt the only place with odjfs workers. Otehr counties in Ohio are suffering so that thier headquarters can collect bonuses. Its many of ther middle men just like us that are losing out. They are taking huge paycuts and losing hours. Just because some are dicks doesnt mean they all are.

Be happy we get anything extra at all. I’m over it now that I know I’m getting paid soon. Put as much effort as do whining into finding a damn job. 3 of my friends who were unemployed have good jobs now. It’s not impossible.

i got a call about 6 weeks ago saying i would redieve a $25 increase and an adjustment retroactive back to feb 22 in 6 weeks or less. or as soon as they reprogram the system. its been 11 weeks since feb 22. im getting the feeling that they feel if, they dont issue the payment, maybe i’ll forget about it? or if they hold out long enough, they wont have to give it to me. im thinkin im gonna call channel 7 and see what i can do about drawing more attn to this crap. ive got child support to pay, bills, and your other “usual” daily costs of living. why is this not looked at as something serious? if im overpaid as a result of “whatever”, they’d be on my a*s to pay them. so why doesnt it work the other way around? government office exists FOR ME! THE CITIZEN! thats how america is supposed to be right? its time people stand up and stop accepting this kinda thing as “the norm”. we have been stuck in this mode as the silent victim of poor government, and its got to stop. i propose EVERYONE that is owed this money, CALL AND CALL AND CALL AGAIN. if its really taking this long to “reprogram the system”, lets give their system a reason to take forever. maybe if its splattered all over the news and their phonelines are clogged with unhappy people wondering why they are dragging their a*s with this thing, maybe, just maybe, it’ll light a fire under their a*s and they’ll do their damn job. ive been in computers for YEARS. if they had anyone worth a damn in there workin on this, it’d be done in a week. its a flat $25 increase and a payment retroactive to the same universal date! its not rocket science! this is a fine example of the competence of the people running ohio government. i bet it takes these people 5 hrs to take a p**s too. im tired of ohioans not being respected and treated like we should. if it wasnt for “us” these people wouldnt have a job to begin with. where is my money?
