About 10 million Americans filed for unemployment in the final weeks of March. Not all industries are furloughing or laying off employees, though. With surges in demand for groceries, toiletries, and delivery in general during the coronavirus outbreak, many industries are hiring and hundreds of thousands of front-line positions are currently open.
“Employers have the primary responsibility for providing a safe and healthy work environment,” says Glorian Sorensen, director of the Center for Work, Health, & Wellbeing at the Harvard School of Public Health. While employees must do what they can to reduce the risk of getting sick, it is still an employer’s responsibility to keep their workforce safe.
Here are seven positions in high demand, and what to make sure your prospective employer is doing to reduce your risk of infection. Note that regular breaks for resting and hand washing are relevant for each of these jobs, and many come with their own social distancing challenges：
1.Retail associate
2. Grocery store associate
3.Delivery driver
4.Warehouse worker
5.Shopper
6.Line cook
7.Security guard
