Here's one silver lining in the job market right now.
Many employees in the U.S. are holding their breath, waiting to see if their jobs will be the next to disappear as authorities order businesses to close and residents to stay home in a bid to stop the spread of the coronavirus. At the same time, hiring is ramping up in some sectors.
Amazon AMZN, +3.07% announced plans to hire 100,000 new employees to handle an influx of e-commerce orders and deliveries as more Americans stay home. Kroger is hiring 10,000 new associates nationwide across retail stores, manufacturing plants and distribution centers, Kristal Howard, a Kroger spokeswoman said. “Candidates may apply via jobs.kroger.com and could be placed for employment within several days of applying,” she said adding that “Kroger’s average hourly wage is $15 an hour.”
That sector has grown the fastest over the past week, Zhao said, according to Glassdoor hiring data. Most of the job openings are for truck and delivery drivers as well as warehouse workers, he said. Popular pizza chains in the U.S. are also experiencing a spike in demand as many restaurants and quick-service chains have shifted to takeout, delivery, drive-thru and pick-up only.
Internet and telecommunications While millions of Americans cannot work from home, many are doing so especially in cities like San Francisco, where there is currently a shelter-in-place order.
