Thousands Of Insurance Agents Get Wrong Notice
(Columbus, OH) -- Thousands of Ohio insurance agents received letters this week, stating their license had been suspended. The letters came from a private company that takes care of scoring, testing and other insurance-related issues for government agencies. Prometric officials claim the mistake was made at the printing company they use and letters should only have gone out to 86-hundred agents, not the over 140-thousand that actually were sent. Agents who have questions regarding the status of their license, should call Prometric or the Insurance Department's licensing division.

Unemployment Still Problem Throughout The State
(Cleveland, OH) -- New data shows the unemployment rate isn't improving across Ohio. The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services reported yesterday the region's jobless numbers in January were two-points higher than a year earlier. And the U.S. Labor Department reported Ohio had the tenth highest unemployment in the country at ten-point-eight-percent, which is more than a point higher than the national rate. Ohio's loss of 12-thousand jobs between December and January tied it with Missouri for the most in the country during that period.
