Per COVID-19 before November 2020, employment layoffs skyrocketed each month and employees have taken advantage of cashing in all of the unemployment benefits.

Corporations have additionally gained 245,000 jobs in November 2020, according to the latest employment report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
