Posted on 05/08 by Erin Helms
While the economy is always subject to ups and downs, the past few years have created new levels of instability. Massive disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, paired with high inflation and the threat of a recession, have had a severe impact on both employers and employees in some of the country’s core industries – light industrial, manufacturing, and general labor. For job seekers in these industries, this is an especially challenging time.
