With the Unemployment rate in the state of Virginia at 7.1%, issues at the Virginia Employment Commission, are not helping things. As people search for jobs or look for information on employment, they are running into a problem. The computer systems for the Virginia Employment Commission seem to be down today.

Not only is the VEC affected by these computer issues though. Apparently some 23 other government agencies in the state of Virgina are having difficulties with their computer systems as well. Some of the other agencies affected in this mess are the 74 DMV offices in the state, Alcoholic Beverage Control, Virginia Department of Emergency Management and Virginia Department of Transportation. Officials have yet to give a recovery time for their computers systems which are run by Northrop Grumman Information systems.
