Unemployed in New York: A 38-year-old accountant shares his story
takes readers deep inside the decimated American workforce.He lost his job as an accountant in May, but has been using this time to do what he wants while looking for his next opportunity.
I'm hoping to find a job once job postings become a little more abundant. I've had no real prospects so far. My unemployment application process was very smooth. At the time I lost my job, I had heard a lot of horror stories about New York being backlogged with claims and people having trouble applying or receiving their unemployment benefits. But I logged on to the website, filled out the required information, and submitted my claim without any issues. My application was processed and approved quickly.
More generally, I'm also concerned how schools opening — or remaining closed — will affect my young daughter, who's starting kindergarten this year. Schools in my area all have different reopening plans, some much more organized than others. We've actually decided to send her to a different school because it seemed like they were more prepared for a safe reopening.
