The GDOL has processed over 4.3 million unemployment insurance (UI) claims since last March, while trying to adjust its programs to support pandemic employment requirements. The agency was able to continue its reemployment efforts using innovative virtual processes and implement a broader set of initiatives and policies to minimize the economic impact of the pandemic.
“At a time when good news seems to be in short supply, it’s encouraging to see leading states like Georgia accomplish so much in the face of such difficult circumstances—aiding both struggling individuals and the broader economy,” says AIFE President John Courtney.
The Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations also received the 2020 Full Employment award.
