How People are Supporting Each Other During COVID-19

In 2020, news coverage has felt like an irreparable, deluge of negativity, fear, devastation, economic downfall, and potential devastation. However, many people and companies are taking advantage of COVID-19 as a time to spread positivity. Some are supporting others and helping those who are affected the most by this pandemic. In response to the overpoweringly negative news coverage, John Krasinski, best known for his roles as Jim in The Office and as Jack Ryan in Amazon’s Jack Ryan, decided to create his own Youtube channel. In his simply titled Some Good News (SGN) segments, Krasinski spreads the word of people helping and supporting others. Some examples include citizens around the world cheering for healthcare workers as they head to work, and a 6th grade math teacher helping a student with her homework from her socially distant front porch. 

The love and support does not stop there, celebrities are getting in on the action. Many are providing much needed financial support to aid those throughout this crisis. Philadelphia born and raised P!nk donated $1 million to fight the virus and did not forget where she came from in her donation. “She is donating $500,000 to the Temple University Hospital Emergency Fund in Philadelphia in honor of her mother, Judy Moore, who worked there for 18 years in the Cardiomyopathy and Heart Transplant Center. Additionally, she is donating $500,000 to the City of Los Angeles Mayor’s Emergency COVID-19 Crisis Fund.”

Additional celebrities including George and Amal Clooney, Oprah, Rachel Ray, Elton John, Ralph Lauren, and many others donated millions of dollars to support food donation services, emergency relief funds, healthcare supplies, frontline responders, and many other causes both nationally and around the world. 

Supporting Local Businesses

The generosity even includes local grassroots efforts such as Fuel The Fight, a Philadelphia born GoFundMe page created to support local restaurants by paying for food deliveries for healthcare and hospital workers in the Greater Philadelphia area. What started off as a philanthropic idea has turned into a social media sensation including shout outs from former Eagles player Chris Long, a partnership with Evolve IP, and $180,000 in donations within their first few weeks, which just goes to show that Philly still is the city of brotherly love.

As Covid-19 Spreads, Laborocity’s Tech-enabled Hiring Platform Matches Workers with The Companies That Desperately Need Them 

 

Computer Algorithms Demonstrate the Power to Match Hourly Workers with Open Jobs Instantly 

 

Radnor, PA, March 19, 2020 – While millions of Americans are being forced to work from their homes as a result of the Coronavirus, hundreds of thousands who have been displaced are searching for work that cannot be done remotely. At the same time, the disruption has created strong demand within certain industries like grocery stores. Laborocity, the leading workforce technology platform, is seeing a surge of hires for contract and 1099 workers for hundreds of companies ranging from start-ups to enterprise. Laborocity currently has thousands of workers prepared to enter industries that include but are not limited to warehouse, e-commerce, call centers, grocery stores, logistics, and preventative cleaning.

 

Laborocity’s tech-enabled process uniquely identifies qualified candidates based on a series of requirements such as job experience, skills, geolocation, performance ratings, AI-enhanced pre-screening, and machine learning outcomes to rapidly fill open positions. 

 

CEO of Laborocity Lynn Bruder said, “There are currently 53 million workers in the Unites States that work in roles that are paid hourly and need to keep working to earn a living and provide for themselves. Laborocity can provide them the work that they need to not only survive this global pandemic but also to continue to work once we get past these trying times.” Bruder continued, “We can bridge the gap between people who are willing and able to work and the companies that provide essential services who need them.”

 

On a seamless and intuitive platform, companies and potential employees complete an initial easy step-by-step application process. From there, Laborocity’s advanced proprietary AI and Machine Learning matching algorithm efficiently matches workers with jobs by location. Laborocity manages everything through its website or mobile App including preliminary screening, tax forms, paperwork, background checks, and even payroll. Laborocity’s policy of weekly payroll for employees makes work opportunities for their partner companies competitive and more appealing to ensure retention. Each company has the capability to approve weekly hours via the Laborocity app and track doer performance, further assuring that they always have the best person for the job.
