NJ's Labor Department says it's fixed some of the snags, but claimants are frustrated.
NJ unemployment claims topped 1 million, but 305,000 applicants still await checks. New Jersey's Department of Labor says it's rewritten an outdated computer program that caused "snags" and hired hundreds of workers. But that won't pay the bills for frustrated claimants. One critic is calling for the labor commissioner to resign.
