A new report from the National Employment Law Project analyzes the severe solvency problems facing state unemployment insurance systems across the nation. Notes the report:

The system failure is a result of years of poor financing policy decisions, and the cur-rent crisis should compel policy makers to forge a new path to forward financing of the unemployment insurance program.
