By Jim Turner article
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - People in Florida’s unemployment system will have to show they looked for work on a weekly basis after Memorial Day, as the state pushes to get workers back on the job, particularly at restaurants.
Also, a process is being set up for business owners to report unemployment claimants who don’t follow the work search rule, which will require people to apply for five jobs a week.
Dane Eagle, executive director of the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, said Wednesday the work-search requirement, which was lifted last year because of the coronavirus pandemic, will be reinstated June 1 for new unemployment applicants. Gov. Ron DeSantis also said last week the work-search requirement would return.
