I lost my job, how about you guys?

[bryant.coleman]

Yes Lockdown has completely paralyzed the human economy, business and human life. In almost all countries, it has become very difficult to go back to the way it was.  Due to low import-export, employees are not able to pay their salaries properly and there are many more companies that have closed down due to this lockdown. Again, many people in the world have lost their jobs due to this lockdown. We hope to get rid of this epidemic coronavirus very soon.  Lift the lockdown from all countries and make our economy, business and human employment as fast as ever.

I am actually perplexed. If the lockdowns had such a negative impact on the economy, how the stock markets are doing better than the pre-pandemic levels? In my country the stock index is currently at 15% higher than than the level we had in 2020 March. Ideally, the stock market should reflect the economic situation, right? Also, many of the experts were predicting a major stock market crash 6-7 months ago.

We can say that such crisis periods create a positive effect on the stock markets. At this time, people are seeking to make new investments and earn income by improving themselves and this stimulates the market.

I do not entirely agree with you. The reason the markets are rising so much is because a lot of money is being printed. All the world's central banks flood the markets with money to prop up the economy in the pandemic. This is the reason why all assets such as stocks, real estate, gold and also crypto are rising sharply. Just like all kind of art and other investment assets. The stock markets also predict that there will be higher inflation soon, so this is already being priced in.

I know the only thing that will help me survive this crisis is cryptocurrency that is why I am active here again because fiat had failed me.

It's difficult if we make cryptos as a source of income because of the volatility but it would be better if you join a campaign that pays bitcoin, at least this will help you to survive this crisis. Not only you who struggling to survive this crisis but the whole world, people losing their jobs because of this stupid virus. Well lucky that I have a small business here which I can survive this crises at least. Just a little more patience my friend the world will be back to normal, the vaccines were already created.

Unfortunately, the pandemic affected all of us negatively, we have come to the level of losing our jobs. some of us were laid off. we have to try to make money from our seat at this time, but how?

[Twentyonepaylots]

Sorry to hear about that. Like you, I'm among the millions of people who have lost their regular jobs as well and habe been forced to make ends meet in other ways. It is a great relief that some of us have a backup plan, yet still, my heart goes out for those people who were left penniless by this pandemic.

I have heard a great saying regarding planting trees that we can also apply to investing. "The best time to plant a tree (Invest) is 20 years ago. The second best time is now". So keep on trying and of coming up of ways to earn you money. Be it in investment, business, or others, as long as it is legal.

^ you can make money from your seat if you have skills like writing, making a video, and coding then you have nothing to worry about. we have to be independent because if we only depend on a job it will not be able to guarantee our future. invest in your skills and knowledge.

[Vishnu.Reang]

Unfortunately, the pandemic affected all of us negatively, we have come to the level of losing our jobs. some of us were laid off. we have to try to make money from our seat at this time, but how?

If you are laid off from your work, then you have two options:

1. Spend a few months in improving your skill set, so that you may be able to land a decent job after that
2. Do freelancing, which may provide you financial support until you are able to get a full-time job.

I would definitely prefer the first option, because unless you have very good coding or programming skills, freelancing jobs can be difficult to get and can be low paying. The only catch is that you need to dip in to your savings, to survive.

That's still a job, because your skills will make you qualify for the job. What some people don't understand is on how to invest on business, we can invest and do our job at the same time if we are wise, so if one source of income will be lost there's the other one that we can expect to generate income.

I'm saying this because once in my life I have also lost my job, and I really struggle, but now I'm wiser because I learn from my experience and it makes me more mature to make a decision to minimize the risk of struggling financially in the future.

There are actually many ways one can earn money now, if you really think about it. With this digital age, we can reach a wider audience and clients if we have like the skills you've said. We can cater people not only in our country but even those on other parts of the world. It just takes bit of an effort if one really wants to have a source of income.

[Istiaque]

The lockdown has hurt the human economy a lot but in many countries the lockdown has been lifted. Every country is trying to improve their economy. With the lifting of the lockdown, trade, imports and exports have increased, and many companies have laid off their employees but are returning to work. Due to which every human being is creating employment opportunities by increasing the expansion of trade and commerce including human race.

[Vispilio]

Pandemic has accelerated the move to the digital age, cultivated land and natural resources on Planet Earth are becoming more and more limiting factors at this population rate,

so businesses who are able to create value and equity without needing constrained physical resources are increasingly in greater demand.

Yes, this is why the OP too need to adapt and to apply in those areas or jobs online to adapt the current situation which is the new normal.

However, we know too that it is difficult to look for a job right now. I am suggesting just like to what others did starting on small business like online selling home made products. Others are learning it from youtube and doing some marketing strategy like if selling done door to door basis then others are dancing or playing instrument to satisfy the consumers and to keep ordering back whenever they wanted.

well, not everyone suits for online stocks and investments, they would rather to seek another job during this pandemic which is normal in my opinion and you can put a blame on it. but for those who seeks for side income with the investments and good for them because they are opening much more opportunities to earn money

[Stedsm]

@OP, same is the story with many of us (including me) and I'm actually a freelancer, but my workload went down gradually since this pandemic took place. My industry has been hit badly due to this and I believe it's not just me, but even if we talk about some dancers, singers, side dancers, side actors, etc. they are facing the worst days of their life and are needy of any help they could get to even manage their food these days.

[bhadz]

I've just finished a contractual job during the rush of covid-19 a few months ago. And I'm very much grateful to have it as it's hard to look for a job by that time. Well, the contract's done and I have to find another job again.

Correct. Those day to day basis job prospects were the ones that badly affected by the companies that cut jobs due to the limited operations or temporary closure. Even in airlines, we all thought that it's one of the best industries in the world yet they also suffered.

[dunfida]

There are so many people that lost there job because of the pandemic, not only the job but also some business establishment are now closing because they dont have a custumer yet. But this is not the end of the world we need to stand together and be more patience and understanding the vaccines are on the way we only need to wait.

indeed, I don't have a job either but I use this long period of time to learn more and make myself more confident than ever, I use my time to learn new things, such as graphic designing, web developing and many more, it also helps me to bond more with my family, although I am not earning so much now maybe half of my income last time, but I need to move forward, for me to grow and expand in different thigns, this setbacks gives me more confident and hope.

People should really be having this kind of mindset rather than they do look down too much or do have that self-pity because they dont have or lost their jobs amidst of this pandemic.Yes,it wont really be that simple but
people shouldnt really stop on finding ways or else you would really be suffering from starvation and to think that there are lots of ways for you to monetize something into these days.It might not be
equalled compared into your previous job but make yourself to be sustainable somehow because if you dont do something then you will surely face up hardship.
Good thing or advantageous for those who have learn crypto yet they do really have that edge when it comes to income.

This is really great for you as you have contractual job because I personally lost job 7 months ago and until now fail to have any in near future its not looking good around us as Covid-19 is spreading very badly which is causing some more lock down which are now going to be more trouble for many families those have not good enough support or those are living without jobs in these days Vaccine is ready but its going to take some long time until we will have some good benefit of this all.

[loopes]

Everything is unstable as long as there is a pandemic. Businesses halted operations due to supply problems. Supplies for a specific business takes too long to arrive beacuse of the tight security and of course shipment crews needs to be quarantined everytime they cross borders. That is why small businesses are affected and we workers as well. I know the only thing that will help me survive this crisis is cryptocurrency that is why I am active here again because fiat had failed me.

What is your story with fiat and cryptocurrency during pandemic? This is again the battle of centralized and decentralized assets and activity in the middle of a crisis. In your own experiences and opinion which of the two will win?

I just wanna share my condition which is same in some aspects with yours. My small familly business that is selling arabian food like kebab and fast food like burger is forced to be closed because this pandemi. But i don't have any issues with supplies stock, our main problem is demand of the product which is dropping during pandemi. Not only seller who get a crisis economy condition but also the customer, as the seller's perspective we should know that for sure.

Food home delivery services have seen an astounding growth ever since the pandemic forced governments to implement lockdown measures. So why don't you partner with some of these services, to deliver your products directly to the customers? Dine-in business will be in bad shape for the next few months. So you need to adjust with the changed circumstances. If you maintain good quality, then you may be able to expand your customer base and rake in good profits.

I agree.

Rather than making yourself sad because you just lost a job, searching for another one is much worthy of your time. Online selling is the one who is trendy right now since we can't go all outside being afraid of the COVID-19, so it's not that bad to start your own product that you'll sell online to start a new business to earn money. Having a business could give you more money than having a job to be honest.

But I cannot blame those people who got sad after they just lost their job. Not all of us has the ability to do something like others do to earn money. We have our own limit when it comes to the ability to earn money in the amidst pandemic. My only point is that we don't have to feel sad for a long period of time, because that's pointless.
