There were three words that made consumers tremble during the pandemic — supply chain issues. We suffered shortages of everything from toys to toilet paper because of manufacturing slowdowns in China and shipping disruptions across the globe. One expert told me that those issues are still affecting the economy today, but in a very different way.
A study has found that your online profile picture may play a key role in whether you get hired.
