Never have there been so much employment disarray.
Correction. Make that unemployment disarray.
According to nbcnews.com, “Another 4.4 million Americans filed for initial jobless claims last week, revealing that at least 26 million people have requested unemployment benefits since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.”
In only one month, all job gains since the Great Recession have disappeared, according to recent data released by the Department of Labor.
The United States economy had created around 22 million jobs since 2010, during a historic decade of economic expansion that came to an abrupt end in February.
For those of us who lived through the housing crash and severe employment downturn of 2008, we thought we had seen and felt the worse. It was completely awful.
What made it worse for previous generations was that we could no longer meet with a potential employer face to face.
All applications were then being taken online. Most were rejected.
That was then and that was horrific. Having said that, nothing has prepared us for this pandemic decimation.
Apparently few others as well.
Forbes Magazine adds, “Over 30 million workers have filed unemployment claims in the last six weeks. That represents approximately 23% of the workforce. Many of the newly unemployed workers came from industries you would expect to be hit hard in a pandemic, such as the hospitality industry and small businesses.”
Jobs once considered safe are being affected as well.
The list includes government jobs at the state and local levels, jobs in healthcare, and jobs that require a significant amount of technical know-how and training.
In most cases, it is rare for workers in these industries to ever file for unemployment benefits. Yet, many of these once untouchable employees find themselves out of work, and while some of these layoffs may be temporary, it is expected that some of these jobs may never return.
National economists are concerned that, as the crisis continues, there could be a second wave of layoffs and massive applications for unemployment benefits.
That being the case, myriads of the unemployed will be looking for work and competing with one another for scarce jobs.
As now outmoded doors are closing, new innovative ones are opening up.
Most companies have been hard hit by the pandemic fallout but others, especially in the online ordering space like Amazon and Walmart, have seen an explosion in new business.
In life, when one door closes, another is always opening.
What can give you a leg up above the other millions seeking new jobs especially if you were or desire to be in management?
Would you consider an entrepreneurial pathway?
Either way, your leadership skills in the new post-pandemic era will be highly sought after.
We have the thoughts of a female industry leader who can provide you with some helpful and proven suggestions that can make you more attractive to future employers and possible business associates.
