Amid the pandemic that we are currently experiencing, the unemployment rate has reached an all-time high. There are millions of people who have lost their jobs due to the forced closing of any business that is considered non-essential.
Many people in the United States live paycheck to paycheck so they are no longer able to pay bills or rent.
Due to this, dozens of essential businesses such as grocery stores and retail stores are hiring by the thousands in order to push forward their business and give job opportunities to those who are in need of them at this trying time.
Here are a few businesses that are proactively hiring at this time:
