4 Jobs You Can Get During A Pandemic


American jobless claims have surpassed 26 million in the wake of the COVID-19 shutdown. It’s safe to say there are a lot of folks out there who are looking for something, anything they can do to bring in a few extra bucks. Welcome to the new gig economy.  Luckily, if you’re one of those people, there are plenty of ways to supplement your (lack of) income during these trying times. So let’s take a look at 4 jobs you can get during a pandemic. 

Delivery Driver

One industry that’s definitely booming is food delivery. The good news is: if you have a car, you can get in on the action. Doordash and UberEats will both let you get started right away, as long as you’re 18 and you have a car. (Or a bike.)

You might be surprised how much money you can earn doing food delivery. Best of all, it’s a flexible gig. Work whenever you want, and make as many or as few deliveries as you please. Not a bad deal, right?

Warehouse Work

People aren’t just ordering food online. They’re ordering everything online. That means companies like Amazon are booming. And hiring. Between Amazon, Walmart, and CVS, there may be as many as 300,000 warehouse jobs up for grabs before this shutdown is over.

It may not be your dream job, but you could make $15-$20 per hour. Not bad for a temporary situation.

Tutoring

Don’t worry: you don’t need teaching credentials to tutor students online. In fact, you only need a high school diploma to do the job. Well, that and a knack for communicating with the young. 

There are tutoring websites that allow you to upload your credentials and go to work. With so many kids out of school, it’s safe to assume quality tutors are in demand at the moment.

Miscellaneous Gigs

Maybe you have a skill that you’re not utilizing right now. Logo design. Or coding. Or translating documents, say. 

The website Fiverr allows you to bid on gigs that use these skills. Set your price and go to work!  You can charge anything from $5 to $995 per job and get paid on a per-assignment basis. Pretty sweet deal, right?

Thanks for reading about jobs you can get during a pandemic.

How Sales And Discounts Actually Make Us Spend More

There’s just something about a big red “SALE” sign that messes with your brain a little. Suddenly, spending money feels less like spending—and more like winning. But here’s the catch: those discounts that seem like they’re helping you save are often doing the exact opposite. A lot of the time, they’re quietly nudging you to spend more than you ever planned.

GUIDE

My cash was refused at a coffee shop. When I complained, the worker took change from her own purse for my transaction—can they do that?

Can a business refuse cash and can employees use their own money for your purchase? Here’s what the law actually says about this awkward drive-thru situation.

INVESTING

My friend says buying stocks is pointless unless you have insider information. Is the market really that rigged?

If your friend says the stock market is pointless unless you have insider information, they are tapping into a very old fear. But the key question is not whether markets are perfectly fair, because they are not, but whether regular people can still build wealth without cheating.

I made a mistake with company inventory and now they’ve deducted money from my paycheck for “lost merchandise.” Can they do this?

Your employer deducted money from your pay for an honest mistake. Here's what you need to do right away.

SAVE MONEY

Mold and pests from our hoarder neighbor cost us thousands. The condo board knew about it for years, shouldn’t they have to pay for repairs?

If your property or living space has been damaged by a neighbor's hoarding behavior, it's key to find out whether the property managers or condo board were aware of the problem.

FINANCE TIPS

My parents want me to invest in a rental property with them, but I'd have to drain my savings. Is that too risky?

It sounds tempting. Your parents want to buy a rental property together, and they see you as a natural partner. But if joining the deal means draining your savings, this is not just a warm family moment. It is a major financial decision that could shape your next few years.
