Companies that are hiring rapidly, amid Covid19 pandemic

In the US, the unemployment rate in April has reached 14.7 percent. This is the highest level of unemployment in the US after the Great Depression. 2.05 crore people were unemployed in the US during the month. This is a new record for job losses in a month. This shows how badly the corona virus has damaged America's economy.
Statistics show that the closure of business in the US has rendered people unemployed in almost all industries. Recovering from the recession 11 years earlier, the US has lost all the gains it has made on the employment growth front in a month. The job market in the US has declined sharply. The report released by the government also said that those who lost jobs in April, who have not sought new jobs, have not been included in the unemployment figures.
Meanwhile, there are some companies that are hiring thousands of new employees to meet the growing demand. Let's know about them-
