No one denies that the economic sector is one of the sectors most affected by the Corona epidemic, not in a specific country or continent, but globally. With the closure of many economic activities and the dismissal of a large number of workers, some occupations have completely disappeared during blackout periods around the world. Then the countries of the world returned to gradually open their economic activities in an attempt to save what could be saved and give new life to the labor market.
In a report released by CNN, he highlighted some occupations that will often disappear forever and not return even after economic activity picks up and attempts to recover from the negative effects of Corona. The global workforce has also suffered a severe blow from which it is difficult to recover. In the United States of America, for example, more than 22 million people lost their jobs between February and the end of April this year. And only 48% of their jobs were returned after that, as the pace of restoring the job market to what it was was very slow, and experts don't expect others to get their jobs back, but only 3 million for the remainder of this year. .
The report indicates that one of the sectors most affected by the outbreak of the epidemic, which suffered heavy losses following the closure and then social separation measures, are restaurants, cafes, leisure establishments. and personal care industries. It was then that e-commerce, working and distance learning exploded due to the pandemic.
The report says many jobs are at risk of extinction and doubts about their return have started even after the nightmare the world is experiencing. For example, sales jobs are the most affected. Employment in the retail industry fell by more than 5% between February and August. As a result, dozens of major retailers around the world have declared bankruptcy and had to lay off workers entirely. There is no sign of hope for the return of this industry after e-commerce has seen great popularity.
As for office jobs, and administrative support jobs, it was never possible to imagine that these were jobs that could be affected by technology, but since the Corona outbreak began to worsen spread, the unemployment rate among those in office jobs in the United States of America fell from 3.3% in February The past was over 9% last July. While many companies were desperate to improve the situation, and had to lay off many of their employees, especially after using technological means to manage business.
