Las Vegas restaurant workers express frustration over filing for unemployment claims | Eater Vegas

"I was told that Gregory Mercado, a bartender at Sushi Roku at the Forum Shops at Caesars, considers himself "super lucky" because he was laid off early and was able to obtain unemployment benefits and the $600 CARES payments, while his boyfriend and many other Las Vegas food and beverage workers remain waiting on claims; Mercado expressed skepticism about the governor's emergency directive to hire temporary staff to process claims faster, saying that after "50-something days" it's "kind of late to start." - Krista Diamond
