A portion of the Washington State Employment Security Department’s online dashboard is down indefinitely.
The Benefits Data Dashboard would normally show statistics, such as how many Washingtonians are waiting on their unemployment claims to be processed, what percentage of overall claims they represent (with a corresponding pie chart), and the average wait time for benefits.
Right now, however, those statistics and chart are absent.
An explanation on the page from this past Thursday says this is because of alterations that needed to be made in light of the federal stimulus.
