Recent surveys conducted by the Pew Research Center show 66 percent of Americans out of work during this pandemic say they have or are seriously considering changing their occupation or field of work. That is millions of people looking to pivot to more in-demand or more meaningful careers.
An industry many people are switching from is the hospitality industry and theyâre moving to tech. The hospitality industry has been one of the hardest hit during this pandemic. In January, another 61,000 people in the industry lost their jobs, adding to hundreds of thousands that have been unemployed for many more months.
