This is a tough time for many people. The unemployment numbers reached a peak late last year, and we continue to see many of our fellow Iowans struggle through these hard times. A large portion of people throughout the country are currently relying on unemployment to get them through. A new bill is gaining traction in the Iowa legislature that would change unemployment benefits that Iowans could get.
Two weeks ago, more Americans filed their first week of unemployment insurance than any week in history. Last week, it got far worse across the U.S. and in Iowa.
