A new study shows that retail salesperson is the No. 1 most common and competitive job in America accounting for 1,379 jobs per 100,000 people.
As we attempt to climb out of the economic crisis, and businesses begin to reopen, the competition for jobs will be unprecedented with 11 million unemployed Americans vying for positions.
CareerCloud today released a study, The Most Competitive Jobs by State, using the most recent data from the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Census Bureau.

3 Easy Ways to Stand Out to Employers During COVID-19
Update Resume to Beat the Bots: Nearly 100% of Fortune 500 companies use a digital ATS platform to weed out resumes before a human sees them. To beat the bots, add keywords from the job description into your resume. Create multiple resumes for specific jobs. Use resume writing services to optimize your chances of landing a job quickly.
Appearance Matters, Up Your Zoom Game: Choose a clean background in your home for zoom interviews and make sure you are dressed and groomed for success as if it was an in-person interview.
Be Flexible and Focus on Transferrable Skills: As the economy rebounds, your old job may be gone, or you may choose an industry with less competition. Be sure to highlight your transferrable skills– such as office management or mentoring of new hires.
