The Covid-19 virus pandemic has forced many businesses in various parts of the world to have to stop operating. From markets, shops, restaurants, cinemas to factories, they have to be willing to let their turnover decrease. This condition even triggered a wave of massive layoffs , not only in the United States but also in various parts of countries in the world including Nigeria.
FourTFive - Quoting from CNBC, although the health crisis due to this pandemic is so heartbreaking, in fact it also creates a number of unexpected new job opportunities. For example, a business conference until recruitment is online.
Julia Pollak, economist at ZipRecruiter said that the health disaster has created new opportunities needed to deal with this virus and boosted consumer confidence in America.

In the United States, the fee for the Covid-19 vaccine trial is hourly, you know. The hourly rate even reaches USD 45 or more.
According to Pollak, this opportunity could become a popular job that will temporarily continue to grow, as long as companies and factories reopen normally.

Both large companies and home convection businesses were also flooded with orders for making masks. In the United States, workers in mask production sites generally get paid up to USD 18 or more per hour.
