Before the COVID 19 pandemic, few of us were even aware of what “essential” employees and businesses were. However, following frantic Google searches to see if our jobs were considered essential, we quickly found out what the term meant. Soon after, many businesses were deemed nonessential and forced to close their doors immediately. These companies had to shift to work-from-home models and had little indication of when they would be able to reopen for in-person operations.

But many people could not work from home during this time. Hospital workers, police officers, pharmacists, and others were required to work throughout the pandemic; risking their lives every day. Throughout much of this time we had a shortage of PPE and no reliable treatments for the disease.

Furthermore, commercial cleaners soon became some of the most important figures in the pandemic, as everyone began to research the best sanitation practices. Terms such as “disinfection” and “cleaning” became some of the most searched terms on the web. At the same time, hand sanitizer flew off the shelves as manufacturers struggled to keep up with the demand. Commercial cleaning professionals were literally eliminating all traces of the virus, leaving buildings and surfaces safe for people to use. Their contributions to the fight against the pandemic cannot be understated.

Essential Workers in the Years to Come

Essential, life-sustaining services kept the world turning throughout the pandemic. As a result, labor statistics have shown impressive growth within the essential services sector. Specifically, nearly 7% of essential businesses were able to employ more workers, 5.6% extended their hours of operation, and 6.5% increased employee wages.

These phenomenal statistics are not an anomaly, nor are they expected to level off any time soon. In fact, it’s very possible that essential businesses will continue to grow as more prospective employees look for important work that provides reliable hours.

For those searching for meaningful, high-paying jobs that will always be needed, essential businesses provide the perfect solution.

Commercial Cleaning Services: The Path to Economic Recovery?

If you’re concerned about the state of the economy and the labor shortage, you’re not alone. There are some serious issues with hiring right now and it’s not easy to secure a job in various fields.
