Lay-offs, cut hours, unpaid leave and unknown job prospects. Since the coronavirus pandemic hit the U.S, over 40 millions of Americans have filed unemployment claims, but some benefited from the crisis already in mid-march. The largest online retailer Amazon announced its plans to hire an additional a hundred thousand people. A lot of other places are looking for delivery drivers and grocery stores are in constant need of employees. We have gone to a mobile world. We all are shopping online, will buy online, and I think that's probably going to continue. I don't think people are going to be anxious to get out to the stores anytime soon. They've learned the convenience for that. So I think ecommerce is really going to continue to grow and that means more jobs are in industry. Experts say after the pandemic is over, the demand for medical workers will also rise dramatically, as more and more private companies want to have an in-house doctor, and some are even forming medical departments. Rising demand is also predicted for cleaning services. The rising volume of online transactions and work from home, will lead to the need for more IT and high tech specialists. According to Paul McDonald,senior executive director of a large management consulting company Robert Half, such skills as coding, data analysis as well as knowledge in the sphere of e-commerce and banking will become increasingly sought after. Technical support that goes along with that in those individuals, those remote workforce as well, so remote technical support, as I mentioned, data privacy and security, highly valued, business continuity experts in the tech arena, so that's technology.
In the banking world we've seen the demand for mortgage processors just pick up during this pandemic. Rates are still low, therefore mortgage refinancing and…is still very active. We've also seen loan processors be very much in demand. The pandemic imposed work routine will also affect the post covered job market. According to the research by the Gallup management consulting company, about 60 percent of Americans worked at home during the pandemic, and over half of them would like to do it after the pandemic is over. New avenues for people who need that type of flexibility, so people with young children, people with disabilities or chronic illness, these type of folks who have been trying to get flexible work space for a long long time, and have kind of run-up against a wall and employers resisting that, and now suddenly in when we in the face of a pandemic. We suddenly realized "oh, well,maybe we can do it!" Remote work can be beneficial not only to employees but also to the employers, say experts. In that case the job market will soon enter a true globalization phase. If you have remote workforce,it creates an opportunity for you to recruit people wherever they may be. You're not bound by geography. You may be based in New York City and you could have workers in Kansas City that are working for you. The whole idea of corporate culture will go through a lot of change after the pandemic. For millions of people around the world, a few months merge the idea of an office, classroom and home in one, and for many it might just stay that way.

失业、裁员、无薪休假和未知的就业前景。冠状病毒疫情袭击美国,超过4000万美国人申请失业救济,但是在三月中旬,就有一些美国人已经从这场危机中获益。最大的在线零售商亚马逊宣布再雇佣10万人的计划。很多其他公司一直在招聘送货司机,杂货店也一直需要员工。我们已经进入了一个流动的世界。我们都在网上购物,未来也将会在网上购物,而且我觉得这样的趋势还会继续持续下去。我并不认为人们在短期内会急于去商店购物。他们已经了解到网购的便捷。我认为电子商务的交易额会继续增长,这也就意味着该行业会出现更多的就业机会。专家表示,在疫情结束后,对医务人员的需求也将大幅上升,越来越多的私营公司会想要雇佣一名内部医生,有些公司甚至成立了医疗部门。预计清洁部门的需求也会上升。越来越多的人进行在线交易和在家办公,这将导致信息技术和高科技专家的需求增加。据大型管理咨询公司罗致恒富的高级执行董事保罗•麦克唐纳称,诸如编码、数据分析的技能以及电子商务和银行领域的知识越来越紧俏。技术支持是由远程劳动力提供的,就像我说过的远程技术支持涵盖数据隐私和安全,维护业务连续性,在技术领域受到高度重视,这就是技术。
在银行业,我们看到在疫情期间,对抵押贷款处理员的需求有所回升。利率仍然很低,因此抵押贷款和再融资等业务非常活跃。我们也看到,对贷款处理员的需求非常旺盛。受疫情影响的工作方式也将影响到岗位覆盖的就业市场。根据盖洛普管理咨询公司的研究,大约60%的美国人疫情期间在家办公,超过一半的人希望在疫情结束后继续在家办公。需要灵活性工作的人们找到了新的途径,所以针对家里有小孩的人、残疾人或有慢性病的人,这些人长期以来一直努力获得灵活的工作空间,但是他们惨遭碰壁,雇主们不愿意这样做,现在,突然之间,疫情来袭。我们突然意识到,“哦,好吧,也许我们可以灵活办公!”专家表示,远程办公不仅对雇员有利,而且雇主也能受益匪浅。在这种情况下,就业市场将很快进入真正的全球化阶段。如果你招聘远程工作人员,你也就得到了一个机遇,能够不限地域随意招聘。你不受地理的约束。你们可能在纽约办公,但你能招聘到在堪萨斯为你工作的员工。疫情之后,企业文化的整个理念将经历多重变化。对世界各地千百万人来说,几个月的时间将办公室、教室和家融为一体。对于很多人来说,这种情况可能会一直持续下去。美国之音新闻,戈泰迪·古德森撰稿,安妮·赖斯华盛顿报道
