The US workforce has faced a tough time amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, the United States is recording over 43 million people unemployed across the country. As the US struggles to find normalcy, many people are wondering:

The US previously had a problem with employers struggling to find the right talent; this is no longer the case as the scales have shifted. We now have employers struggling to find the right talent amidst thousands of resumes.

As businesses attempt to get back to productivity, there has been a significant rise in remote work as both employers and employees adjust to a new working way.
While remote work has been rising in popularity, what we see happening is a shift from popular to essential.
