With the spread of the Coronavirus we have found that the demand for medical workers is on it’s way up! In an article recently published by CNBC, the number of job openings in pharmaceuticals, and healthcare have tripled in the U.S. as a direct response to the virus. When searching specifically for the keywords “COVID-19” on Glassdoor, we found that job postings increased from 100 to 300 in a one week period.

It’s trying times for everyone currently, with the worry over the Coronavirus pandemic, and we’re all working to stay positive and figuring out how to handle the situation. One thing is for sure, however… panicking isn’t going to help anyone, and neither is being super reactive in the way we handle things from a business standpoint, either. We need to keep a level head and handle things as best as possible, especially those in the medical industry. 

The stats below show us the first real numbers on the trajectory of the COVID-19 and California is at the top of that list.
