Furthermore, ICT professionals and experts are classified as being at the same low-risk level

According to a recent study based on official US employment data, carried out by Visual Capitalist (a website specialising in producing visual content for investors and business professionals to make data more understandable), both professionals in leadership and management roles and those working in ICT (information and communications technology) are the ones taking the least risk during the current COVID-19 crisis. This study is applicable to any international context and is particularly relevant to Spain and Latin America, markets in which EPUNTO Interim Management operates.

This situation represents an added competitive advantage for two groups that are crucial in the current and future phases of the COVID-19 crisis, and confirms the high latent demand – which is already beginning to materialise – across the market as a whole.
