"They stepped into the crisis and really helped us out in real-time," Director of the Rhode Island Labor Department, Scott Jensen told Cheddar.
In "normal" times, Jensen explained that the state's system worked just fine, but said this is not "normal times." Amazon's cloud-based solutions have helped the state handle the recent spike in traffic that the state has seen as unemployment numbers rise.
