The labor market after COVID-19: what vacancies will be in demand in the USA and the world

Layoffs, layoffs, furloughs—millions of Americans have filed for unemployment benefits each week since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in some companies the crisis, on the contrary, provoked a shortage of personnel, says "Voice of America".

Back in March, the largest retailer in the world, Amazon announced plans to hire 100 employees. Jobs are also open in popular grocery delivery services and retail chains.

“We're ordering everything online, and I think people will still be uncomfortable going into stores for the near future,” says Elizabeth Malatestinic of Indiana University. “So this segment of the trade will continue to grow, creating jobs, vacancies for logistics and truck drivers.”

In the post-crisis time, demand will also increase for medical workers. According to experts, more and more companies are hiring full-time doctors, and some even create special medical units.

Growth is also predicted among companies involved in cleaning and disinfection of premises. The increase in electronic payments, remote work will inevitably entail a demand for high-tech specialists. According to the executive director of Robert Half, one of the world's largest hiring companies, the ability to code, analyze data, as well as knowledge of e-commerce and banking services will be in demand.

“There will be a need for specialists in ensuring the uninterrupted operation of systems and technical support, in particular in the banking segment,” says Paul McDonald, senior executive director at Robert Half. “We are also seeing an increase in job openings for mortgage processing professionals.” Interest rates are still low, so mortgage refinancing has picked up. The demand for loan processing specialists has also increased as the government has allocated funds to many organizations.”

Work schedules will also affect the labor market. According to Gallup research, about 60% of Americans work remotely. More than half prefer to maintain this regime after the pandemic. At the same time, the highest percentage of people who want to stay at home is among employees in the high-tech, art, finance and insurance markets.

But education, trade, transport and construction workers most of all want to return to normal mode.

“Working from home creates opportunities for people who need flexible schedules,” explains Erin Hatton of the University at Buffalo. - As well as people with small children or with disabilities. To everyone who has been unsuccessfully looking for such an opportunity for many years. On the other hand, this experience showed us that, for example, I do not have the professional skills for distance learning. And it’s impossible to teach remotely as well. Some things are just not meant to be worked from home.”

Remote work, however, can benefit not only employees, but also employers. In this case, experts say, true globalization can wait for the labor market.

“If your company's staff works remotely, this gives you the opportunity to hire employees anywhere. You are not limited by geography, emphasizes Paul McDonald. “You can be in New York and hire people from Kansas City.” But there is a problem here: how to create among employees a sense of involvement in a common cause.”

After COVID-19, the very understanding of corporate culture will change. For millions of people around the world, work, home and study have become one whole for several months. The consequences of this regime have yet to be seen. But, according to studies, more than half of the youngest generation Z prefer temporary work over full time.
