Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels announced today that the state will hire 100 Hoosiers to help the unemployed. Fifty will be located in Indianapolis and the other half in Fort Wayne, at a new Indiana Department of Workforce Development Unemployment Claims Adjudication Center.
"When people are hurting, we can't move too fast, and being way above average isn't good enough," Daniels said in a statement.
He said the state pays 93 percent of first-time jobless claims within 21 days, far better than the federal government's standard of 87 percent.
New employees will resolve issues and investigate discrepancies in unemployment claims. Full-time positions, including salary and benefits, will average more than $15 an hour.
