My research question is: How has the CV pandemic impacted the job economy? This topic interests me because I have my own experience with job searching during the pandemic. And I can attest to how difficult it has gotten to get hired and even get an interview. I already know that this pandemic has made some corporations wary of who and how many people they hire in fear of a Covid outbreak. And I know that having a Covid infested facility can easily get a business shut down. Some points that I plan to explore and find out more about are the effects of the Covid pandemic on the job economy, how the Covid pandemic has affected working and non-working citizens, and what Americans have done to adapt to these changes.

Good job on choosing a your topic. Ever since the pandemic has started finding a job has been scarce because business don’t have the money to pay employees since they have no sort of business revenue. I myself struggled to find a proper job during the start of the pandemic and some places would pay the bare minimum as income. Job interviews end up being some sort of complex now that the pandemic made it harder for in-person interviews as well. Good luck on writing your piece, I am interested to see what you will write.
Richard you chose a great topic to speak upon. The hiring process due to covid is was a first time experience for me because I got my first job last year. For me the hiring process was easy because I already took the vaccine so I got hired easily. Luckily there has been no cases of covid at both my old job and new job as of yet so I’m lucky. Hopefully we can get back to some kind of normalcy.
Richard: YOur sources look very academic. Be ready for a BIG CHALLENGE if you still plan on using these are your sources. I would have trouble readign these articles. THat’s why I stressed NYT articles for this assignment.
I did a google search using these words “NYT and pandemic and success rate of getting jobs.” I found a few leads for you:
