Florida is Reportedly Out of Unemployment Money!

It is interesting how a major fact like the State of Florida being out of unemployment money is buried in the middle of this Bay News 9 article about increasing the annual employer fees. Being out of unemployment money warrants its own article, because it is important information, if true.

The annual fee employers pay to fund unemployment benefits is about to go up drastically...

"That'll have a huge burden on the small business man and woman -- any business in the state of Florida -- who are struggling right now," said state Sen. Mike Fasano.

The state is out of unemployment money according to the Florida Department of Revenue. It's trying to recoup lost dollars that were given to people needing extended unemployment pay.
