The NYS Department of Labor statistics can be misleading because they don't capture the full picture. Many people are working multiple part-time jobs instead of one full-time position, or accepting significant pay cuts. The 'quality' of employment matters as much as the quantity. Have you considered updating your resume format or trying different job boards?
ugh the whole system is so confusing!! i got denied twice before finally getting approved and still dont really understand why. they make it so hard for people who actually need help
You can request a copy of your employer's response to the NYS Department of Labor through the appeals process. If there's a discrepancy between what they told you versus what they reported, that's definitely grounds for an appeal. You have 30 days from the determination date to file an appeal hearing request.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY MINIMUM WAGE HIKES ARE STUPID!!! Politicians don't understand basic economics and then act surprised when unemployment goes up. Now we're all fighting for fewer jobs while they pat themselves on the back for 'helping workers.

THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO DENY PEOPLE!! I worked for 15 years and got denied because of some technicality about my last day of work vs when I filed. They make it impossible on purpose to save money.

•I feel you on the frustration but there are legitimate appeal processes if you think you were wrongly denied.
