A survey carried out by Totaljobs has revealed that 70 per cent of job seekers are now more likely to consider working in a different industry due to the pandemic.
At the start of lockdown in March, unemployment surged by 125.9 per cent, accounting for more than 1.6 million people looking for work. This has made competition for jobs fierce. So, to help job seekers, here’s a list of the industries which are most likely to be hiring.
7. Public sector work
When lockdown began, public sector jobs rose by 107 per cent, making this one of the best sectors for finding a job, according to a quarterly job market report from job board CV-Library. Additionally, some jobs such as police, nurses and teachers are now getting a pay rise from the government. Photo: Shutterstock
