Many companies are forced to cut jobs and pay as travel and events grind to a halt in order to limit social contact and slow the spread of the coronavirus.
“We have heard from people who worry about providing for their families because their hours have been cut or they have been let go completely,” said Sebresos. “Employers are also telling us they need workers who can come in because an employee is either sick or needs to stay home. We can fill the gaps on both ends.”
