Companies Hiring Despite COVID-19 Pandemic & Recession

We are living in some unprecedented times. With the outbreak of COVID-19, no one could have been predicted and prepared for the devastating hit on our global economy. While China bounces back from it’s own economic blow from the initial coronavirus outbreak in the city of Wuhan late last year, other parts of the world, including the United States, the UK, Europe and Asia, continue to see economic decline and an inevitable recession.

While a vast majority of companies have begun to lay off employees; as a result to the highly contagious virus and subsequent government imposed social distancing, the ability to remain social and do work has been negatively impacted.

There are some companies and industries, however, that continue to see sustainability despite the blow back. Dust off your resumes, highlight your transferable skills, and begin sending out those applications if you haven’t done so already. Below, I’ve listed a number of companies; not in any particular order, who are seeing growing despite a failing global economy.
