Some businesses are creating entirely new jobs meant to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, from taking customers’ temperatures to controlling crowds. But labour experts remain unclear on how widely these jobs are being added and whether or not they will help boost the economy.

The economic impact of COVID-19 can also be seen through job search websites such as Indeed. The popular online search engine has witnessed an overall decline in the number of new Canadian job postings on its website,. The number of new postings on the site as of May 22 stood at 48 per cent below last year’s trend.

When it comes to the creation of entirely new jobs meant to address health and safety throughout the ongoing pandemic – such as temperature scanners or crowd controllers – Bernard said it’s too soon to analyze trends among these types of job postings.

“If we don’t get a second wave…then these jobs will no longer be relevant, so there’s a lot of uncertainty,” said Block. “We’re in a very new and fluid situation, so trying to figure out anything beyond the next month I think is really tough.” “They will be looking to keep their cost as low as possible and that means having people in multiple roles at least initially when you don’t know how many customers are going to be coming back,” said Block.

“Our office has been closed now since March 16,” he told CTVNews.ca via telephone this week. “All of the things that we have to think through in regard to this…we’re evaluating right now in terms of our workplace reopening.”
