Last month I shared with you some statistics from you US Dept of Labor Statistics (see Contain your Unemployment Cost 5/06/09).  Looking at the real numbers brings things into perspective.  As the table below shows, May of 2009's unemployment rate is 9.4%.  This is the highest rate in the past 10 years.  In fact each month's unemployment rate in 2009 are the highest in the past 10 yrs.  At Management 2000 we administer the unemployment claim process for our clients.  Given the statistics below, that is currently a time consuming and critically important task. It must handled correctly to assure that you are doing whatever is possible to contain those cost. We do this because you have a business to run
