- Albert Einstein

Throughout history, work industries and employment are defined by technology innovations and shifts. Some examples are the Financial-agricultural revolution (1600–1740), the Industrial Revolution (1780-1840) and the Digital Revolution (1975-2020). Whether technology or world events, these shifts change and modify the employment sector and world as we know it.

This has led to massive unemployment with over 3.3 million unemployment claims made as of March 26th, 2020. The Fed estimates unemployment could rise as high as 32% with 67 million Americans at high risk for layoffs, according to a recent article by CNBC.
