Understand How The Pandemic Changed The Job Market

When the world came to a screeching halt in early 2020 we knew that the job market would go through significant changes. From the advent of Zoom interviews to the adoption of fully remote workplaces, finding a job looks significantly different now than it did ten months ago.

With that in mind, we set out to poll experts across industries and fields on how they see the job market changing. Specifically, we were interested in:

The long term consequences (if any) of the pandemic
The skills the job market would more highly prioritize in each industry
The technologies that would arise
The parts of the country with higher job availability
How will salaries be impacted

After months of work, we now have aggregated over 4,427 expert opinions across 23 industries and 806 job titles.

Are there any particularly good places in the United States for Public Health Advisor to find work opportunities?

Public health opportunities are widespread across the United States, but I probably see the largest concentration of options in California, the New York metro area, Washington D.C., and Atlanta. That said, these are areas with higher volumes of qualified public health professionals competing for roles. Whenever possible, I encourage students and recent graduates to consider conducting their search in various regions, since there are often great opportunities that can be overlooked simply because they're located in areas that are sometimes less known to young professionals.
