| California’s
Unemployment Dept. is
paying $1.1 million a
month to play the
message: “No
Operators Available to
Take Your
Call” because: |
| A ) |
It would cost
$1.1 million to hire more
operators and they don't
have $1.1 million. |
| B ) |
There's very
little unemployment in
California and state can't
find people to be operators. |
| C ) |
If California
paid all the operators
needed to answer
questions from the
unemployed, there
wouldn't be enough money
left to pay benefits. |
| Hint: Call
800-300-5616, ask operator. |
