"Lack of staffing and funding are two of the biggest problems."

- Elisa Cafferata, Director, NV Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation, says those are the primary issues contributing to a backlog of 30,000 unemployment claims. She explains they lost a third of the staffing support for the agency — totaling around 500 temporary employees — which were hired or moved from other departments during the pandemic.
