There’s no denying the fact that with the coronavirus pandemic, we are heading towards the ‘great lockdown recession.’ Millions have lost their jobs globally or have received salary cuts. But there’s hope as some companies are still hiring. Reports claim that hiring in the UK has dropped by 31% but it is still going on.
