Nova Scotia, like all other Canadian provinces, has suffered the consequences of the pandemic. The COVID-19 measures have resulted in the transformation of the workplace. The job demand landscape has also changed unexpectedly, and it might take a while for everyone to get accustomed to it. 

In a new study, the Government of Canada analyzed the effects of the pandemic on various jobs in Nova Scotia. The hospitality sector suffered the most, and it makes sense considering how people were confined to their houses and barred from traveling for a fairly long time.

The public health measures that reduced the spread of COVID-19 were not necessarily favorable to this industry.
