3/18/20 Update: If you know people looking to pick up work or have been displaced, we’ve compiled a list of 6 companies still hiring despite coronavirus.
Fortunately for the American workforce, many employers are not only still hiring — they’re looking to expand rapidly as Coronavirus puts new demands on business.
Here’s a list of companies and industries hiring right now:
- Amazon is hiring 100,000 workers, and many shipping and delivery companies and couriers are expanding as more and more people practice social distancing and find themselves quarantined.
- Online learning companies are hiring thousands of teachers as many schools nationwide are closed, leaving over 30 million children without formal schooling. Plus, these teachers earn up to $40 per hour!
- Grocery stores and delivery services are expanding rapidly as people search for ways to avoid long lines and big crowds. Among them are large chains like Kroger, Meijer, and Safeway/Albertson’s, the latter of which is currently hiring 2,000 additional staff. Grocery delivery service Instacart is also hiring.
- Remote meetings and telecommunications companies like Zoom, Slack and Microsoft Teams are all hiring.
- In-home support for working families (childcare, dog walking, personal assisting, etc.) is an industry still seeing growth, especially with children staying home and lines growing longer at grocery stores.
Just remember:
There’s no shame in being paid for an honest day’s work, no matter the industry or job title, especially during a pandemic.
Now is the time to support each other and remember that we’re all in this together—and we’ll get through it together.
