One of the hardest hitting statistics that resulted from the coronavirus pandemic was unemployment numbers nationwide. As many businesses shut down or cut staff to limit the spread of COVID-19, the U.S. unemployment rate jumped to 14.7 percent in April 2020, the highest level since the Great Depression.
Still, both essential businesses and companies that can have their employees work remotely are as in need of workers as ever, if you know where to look. Not to mention, with Phase 1 of the Mid-Hudson’s economic reopening plan in effect, there should be more and more jobs popping up over the coming months.
Below, we collected a handful of Hudson Valley businesses that are looking to hire right now. Stay close to this page as we update it with new listings.
