The coronavirus pandemic has changed many aspects of our daily lives — including the way we work.
Millions of Americans are now working from home as a result of “shelter-in-place orders” designed to prevent the spread of the virus.
Unfortunately, many are out of work entirely. The U.S. Department of Labor reported last week a record 16.8 million Americans have sought unemployment aid in the past three weeks.
