An estimated 3 million workers across the country are expected to have filed unemployment claims last week as the coronavirus crisis caused many businesses to shut or alter their service.

The New York State Department of Labor says it received more than 1.7 million calls and more than 2.25 million web hits between March 16 and March 21. The department says it received approximately 75,000 calls on Tuesday; it normally receives about 10,000. It says the department's website was averaging more than 250,000 logins per day on Wednesday; that's a 400 percent increase over the normal average.

While the restrictions are shutting down many businesses, there are other businesses across the state, and country, that are ramping up hiring as their demand rises. Here is a partial list:
