That's according to the National Recruitment Federation
The Federation says there are sectors that are growing in this current climate such as the food supply chain- supermarkets Lidl and Aldi have both announced hundreds of new positions that they are looking to fill.
Many other industries, where they can facilitate staff working remotely, have started to embrace the practice for the first time and are continuing to hire.
The Federation's President Donal O'Donohue says coronavirus could actually spell the renewal of rural Ireland.
