I’m in sales and we have been busy as shite. It helps that I sell toilet paper, paper towels, hand sanitizers, soaps, disinfectants, masks, and gloves.

Any kind of media, since in general people have more hours to fill with all forms of info-tainment.

Advertising. Virtually every brand has debuted new ads with COVID messaging.

Certain kinds of construction: Road + Entergy + S&WB crews clogging up the streets everywhere I go.

Chick fil a. The last time I went to the one in Denham they had three lines going with people outside taking orders and 5-6 people around the corner with crates bringing orders to cars.

This is the best answer. It seems like many of the people I see complaining that places are opening too soon are the people who work for the government and have yet to miss a paycheck.

My wife does large group benefit consulting and has been overwhelmed with work. I’m in real estate and just finished two flips, both went under contract over ask in under 48 hours.

I'm in the aggregate and concrete business. We've never slowed down and none of the customers I service in this industry have slowed down.

Garbage men thank goodness.

This depends. For folks are actually cybersecurity baws, they're fine. Especially with the massive increase in telework. For the sales guys, auditors, and other wannabees that put "cybersecurity expert" on their linkedin profiles, not so much.

Insurance. In fact, I secured a new job within 24 hours of applying during this shutdown.
