Healthy Ways to Transition From Working at Home to Simply ‘Home’

The Industries Hit Hardest by the Unemployment Crisis
FiveThirtyEight has analyzed the unemployment data pouring in from the past few months and lays out which industries are struggling the most. While everyone empathizes deeply with those who are losing employment to circumstances beyond their control, it is worth noting that “insurance carriers and related activities” have seen the least change of anything on the list, with only a 0.2% loss of employees across the country since February. We hope this good luck for our industry encourages people to work hard, reach out and try to help those who need financial security and peace of mind.
