Ducey: Arizonans receiving unemployment benefits must prove they are actively looking for work
By Steve Nielsen , Brent Corrado and Associated PressPublished 20 hours ago Updated 13 hours ago
PHOENIX - Arizona Governor Doug Ducey on Monday issued an executive order stating that residents who are receiving unemployment benefits must show proof that they are actively looking for work.
The new executive order rescinds a previous order issued last year that waived this requirement due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"The Arizona Department of Economic Security will begin enforcing the reinstated requirement the week of Sunday, May 23," the governor's office said in a news release.
"A year out from the start of the pandemic, jobs and vaccines are readily available," Ducey said in a statement on May 3. "Arizonans are ready to get back to work. Our economy is booming, jobs need filling, more than 2 million Arizonans are fully vaccinated, and vaccination appointments are available to anyone who wants one."
Authorities on Monday reported 652 additional COVID-19 cases in Arizona, but no additional deaths from the virus.
Over 2.9 million residents - 41% of Arizona's population - have received at least one shot with almost 2.3 million people fully vaccinated.
Health officials said more than 5 million vaccine doses have been administered in Arizona.
In all, 864,000 confirmed cases and 17,344 deaths from the virus have been reported in Arizona since the pandemic began.
Arizona businesses, families feeling the impact of the job hunt
It's everything an owner would want to see after a tough year, a packed restaurant.
Cheba Hut restaurants have been busy in the Valley but there's a problem behind the scenes.
"We're trying to fill literally everything," says Dorian Lenz with Cheba Hut.
Dorian Lenz says competition for employees is so high that he can't hire enough.
"The market is so open right now. Everyone is hiring. I'll have 10 people apply, only 5 will sign up for interviews and only 2 will show up," Lenz says.
They've even had to close shops for days at a time because they don't have the staff.
Elizabeth Newcomb, who is unemployed, says, "It was supposed to be a lift up not a lift back down and causing everyone to be homeless."
She's a single mom and her child care closed. She says getting a job isn't an option until the world gets back to normal.
"Who's going to watch my kids? I don't have anyone to watch my kids, so he's not thinking about the whole picture here, he's not," Newcomb says of Ducey's order.

Phoenix fire crews still working to extinguish recycling yard fire
FOX 10's Steve Nielsen spoke with Captain Todd Keller with the Phoenix Fire Department to learn about what crews are doing to fully extinguish the massive fire that broke out near 35th Avenue and Buckeye on Saturday.
PHOENIX - Phoenix fire officials say a sixth alarm fire at a recycling yard near 35th Avenue and Buckeye prompted the largest response in the department's history on June 5.
"I can't remember the last time we had a sixth alarm," said Phoenix Fire Captain Todd Keller. "We've had a couple two, three alarms in the last couple of months, but this is a big one."
The fire was originally a first alarm early Saturday afternoon, but it quickly escalated, maxing out the alarm system and triggering the type of response that would normally only be seen with wildfires.
Residents say that the smoke could be seen from as far as Mesa and Ahwatukee. Meanwhile, fire officials say 150 residential and commercial customers were without power for about 10 hours.
Fire officials say multiple businesses adjacent to the recycling yard were lost, including a recycling center, a lumbar company, and a tire shop.
The smoke plume from the fire was so large, it even showed up on National Weather Service radar and could be seen from space.
According to Phoenix Fire officials, the fire started at around 12:30 p.m.
By the time firefighters arrived, Officials say they found multiple pallets of cardboard and paper on fire.
"Went out to get the mail and we just pretty much saw, like, a cloud of smoke," said Cindy Ramirez.
"I could see it from miles away out my window, and I'm like 'I better go check that out,'" said Jason Feder.
At one point, fire officials say the fire jumped 35th Avenue, causing multiple cars at a small junk yard to catch fire.
