But just because so many aspects of our lives are on hold, that doesn鈥檛 mean we have to wait until the threat of the pandemic is lifted to make a change for the better.

Challenging and Unique Times

One of the most important things to realize about these strange times is that, like the virus, the economy and the job market are not behaving exactly the way we would expect them to. How do we know this to be true? 

First of all, this is unlike the recession of 2008, where jobs slowly and gradually dropped off, with the housing collapse at the center of the issue. Back in March of this year, everything shut down all at once. From February through April, Americans lost 22 million jobs. As soon as May, when things started to open back up again, or found new ones right away. However, some jobs may never come back, like many in the restaurant industry.

So what jobs are coming back? Here鈥檚 where the Bureau of Labor Statistics expects to see higher-than-average growth :

• Healthcare support occupations
• Personal care and service occupations
• Computer and mathematical occupations
• Healthcare practitioners and technical occupations
• Community and social service occupations
• Construction and extraction occupations

• Truck driving and logistics: During the pandemic, we鈥檝e seen how important it is to keep shelves and warehouses stocked.
