Despite COVID-19 Challenges, Premium Service Brands is Hiring

The Labor Department recently reported that the unemployment rate dropped to 6.9% while employers added 638,0000 jobs, showing a promising turnaround for those who were without work due to the pandemic.

The Twin Cities Pioneer Press reported that 100,000 jobs were also added, but for temporary workers, as employers aren’t sure how long they’d be able to sustain new employees. While many industries have been negatively impacted, a few are still thriving.

Charlottesville, Virginia-based Premium Service Brands , which owns a total of seven brands in the home service industry including Maid Right , Handyman Pro and 360° Painting , has been exceptionally busy despite the circumstances.

“As far as hiring goes, we’re in full swing,” Paul Flick , founder and CEO, told Twin Cities Pioneer Press. “People are investing more money in the place they’re spending their time in.”

According to Flick, PSB’s franchises are up 25% in sales since the pandemic started. Several of their new hires are those who lost their jobs working in the housekeeping department at hotels or other service businesses.
