Who is Hiring? Look Here for Job Opportunities!
Published
COVID-19 is still very much on our minds, but life is slowly returning to pre-pandemic elements. Take jobs, for instance. Employment went up by 850,000 in June 2021 according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The industries with the most gains are in leisure and hospitality, retail, and education.[1]
But that doesn’t mean other industries like the healthcare field aren’t looking for new blood. If you’re looking for a new job or a job change, there could be employment opportunities waiting for you! Read on to see who is hiring and what your future could hold.
We’ve all been aching to get out in public for a while now. And restaurants, bars, and hotels definitely want us back, too. The Labor Department reported the leisure and hospitality industry added 343,000 positions in June 2021.[2] So if you’re a people-person, these might float your boat.
Fast food is hurting for employees. You may find some good benefits, pay and options to draw you closer.
People have lunched, brunched, and drank at home for over a year. Now more bars, grills and restaurants are welcoming patrons inside. And they need the wait staff, cooks and dish washers to take care of them.
Anyone looking to get away? Or at least, get away from home? You’re not alone. Hotels need the employees to care for tourists, weekend get-away-ers and vacationers! I’m talking front desk clerks, housekeeping, bell hops, managers and more.
Stores and distribution centers are looking for cashiers, warehouse associates and inventory stockers. Customer Service and Sales Representatives have lots of options for work, too.
Store employees have been retail angels the last several months. And stores are still looking for more of them!
Some people have had extra time on their hands during the pandemic. So they decided home improvements were a must. Luckily, those retailers are open to customers AND more employees!
2020 and beyond has been inconvenient (to say the least). But it has also pushed us toward more convenient options like delivery services. Sure, we’ve all had a pizza delivered, and now more jobs were created to feed the delivery service monster.
These companies help everyday life stay in motion by delivering food and packages to us.
What would we do without our healthcare heroes?! But we need even more. And you may be one of them!
The need for healthcare never ceases. But amid the COVID-19 crisis, healthcare workers are in even higher demand. Hospitals, nursing homes and healthcare service companies are hiring.
Recently, the way we educate and deal with childcare has flipped on their heads. Learning online and daycare change-ups are becoming more of the norm.
School, work and childcare are speeding into new territory. As we continue to learn and grow, new opportunities are knocking.
Some businesses may continue to struggle and some will rise to the occasion. Employment opportunities are still available in hospitality, retail, education, healthcare and more. By changing your state of mind and job interests, you may find one of the best jobs you didn’t know you‘d be looking for.
