Affects of Corona on income

Online learning, freelancing and e-commerce have seen tremendous boost post corona pandemic. A large percentage of employees were downsized as companies almost went bankrupt due to quarantine. People were confined in the houses for so long.

This quarantine affected the economical situation all over the world badly. As downsizing was done at a larger scale, people started doubting the job security in private organizations. These feelings of mistrust urged them to explore other options of earning.

Digital Skills-the new norm

As digital media has seen revolutionary advancement in previous decades, many pandemic influenced people turned to learn the new trending skills. A variety of businesses suffered and went out of business. These businesses started feeling need of social media marketing and digital presence. This enhanced the need for talent in social media management and other digital skills.

Boom of e-learning and e-commerce

As the demand for digitally skilled candidates increased but the supply of skilled talent was less than expected, a huge market gap occurred. For filling this skill gap, e-learning platforms came into the picture with more instructors and experts turning towards online teaching options.

This disruptive change in communication and information exchange led to the boom of e-learning, e-commerce and freelancing opportunities. People started becoming accustomed to online options. They started learning online through interactive virtual courses, reading ebooks instead of hard cover books, and providing services through digital means to earn money online.

According to a research, ecommerce industry has seen spike which it was expected to see within a whole decade. This poses a new challenge to us for adapting to the new trends.

Need of trained and skilled candidates

The plethora of opportunities creates decision fatigue and focus issues. In today's world, distractions have increased, and competition on the social media has soared. This calls for new skillset and training of the current employees so they can accept the new challenges and polish their skillset according to the latest trends.
