Amber Shultz
TOPEKA Information technology troubleshooter Amber Shultz answered a unanimous Senate confirmation vote by taking the oath of office Friday as secretary of a Kansas Department of Labor roiled by complaints from people and businesses financially hammered by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Shultz and Gov. Laura Kelly acknowledged hardships experienced by Kansans since the coronavirus descended on the state more than a year ago. The challenge was due to an unprecedented surge in unemployment as the pandemic closed portions of the economy. In addition, the Department of Labor’s computer system not replaced for decades cracked under the load of so many claimants.
