The state Employment Development Department is under fire today for compromising the identity of millions of workers.
According to the state auditor, the e-d-d sent at least 38-million pieces of mail containing the full social security numbers of those folks making unemployment claims. State auditors photographed stacks and stacks of unopened mail returned to the e-d-d that contained full social security numbers.
Meanwhile… unemployment claims were up last week in the golden state by an additional 12-hundred first time claims.
