The Coronavirus Effect: Here Are The Jobs That Will Be Added And Lost
The coronavirus has changed the job market almost overnight. The global outbreak has seriously impacted the economy and job security. It will have long-lasting, game-changing ramifications. There will be sectors, companies and workers that may benefit from this near-tragedy. Unfortunately, we will also witness industries that are severely harmed. People in these areas will lose their jobs and have extreme difficulties finding new ones.
The government has ordered us to remain indoors and self-quarantine to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Companies have asked their employees to work from home. Large gatherings of people are not permissible. Due to restrictions and fear, people are not traveling, taking airplanes, dining out, staying at hotels or attending concerts and sporting events. These current trends will continue even after we defeat the outbreak.
Here is where the jobs are and where they will be in the future:
The big winners will be the online companies that don't rely upon brick-and-mortar locations, healthcare providers, supermarket chains—especially those with a robust online presence— pharmaceutical companies working on cures for diseases, technology companies and services, such as Zoom, that cater to.
Since the schools are closed and everyone from elementary school to college are stuck at home, they are turning to online video games. Kids, as well as some adults, are playing games in record numbers to keep entertained, especially with the absence of sporting events. It's also a way to interact with friends and family to maintain social relations, while also practicing self-distancing. As long as this trend continues, jobs in this space are safe and will increase to meet the demand.
According to the Financial Times, “Tech companies are still hiring feverishly as they move to take advantage of a world shifting increasingly to digital as a result of the coronavirus, despite mass lay-offs elsewhere and growing concerns over plummeting global markets.” The FT also claims that California alone has roughly 15,852 jobs open.
