It goes without saying that these are tough tough economic times for everyone, but all is not lost. Maybe you were already unemployed before the COVID-19 crisis or maybe you are one of the many who are unemployed as a result of it. Either way, as the old adage goes, when one door closes another opens. And because of the increased demand in various areas of the retail business, there are many jobs to be had.
