1sockchuck writes "A sign of the times: A surge in filings for unemployment benefits has crashed online application systems in four states this week. Web sites in Ohio, New York, Kentucky and North Carolina have been knocked offline by unusually high volumes of jobless claims. Phone applications systems appearing to be faring even worse in many states. The thin silver lining: States are hiring workers for phone banks and buying new servers to prop up their web sites."
