As cases of COVID-19 spread across the nation in the spring, Bob Moulton decided it was best to close his business, National Pawn, to walk-in sales. Although pawnshops were deemed essential in North Carolina and could remain open, Moulton didn’t want to risk the health of customers or employees at his 19 locations.
However, he also didn’t want to lay off any workers, so he had employees start listing items for sale on sites such as the Facebook Marketplace. Items that were sold were then delivered to customers via curbside pickup.
Many things are taking place:
A spike in long-term unemployment is looming - Marketplace
It will soon be six months since the COVID-19 pandemic slammed into the U.S. economy. In March and April, 17 million Americans lost their jobs and became unemployed in the first wave of pandemic layoffs.
As of July, according to the BLS monthly jobs report , only 6.7 million — or 40% — of the newly unemployed were working again. As job growth continues to slow in the economic recovery, and workers who were initially put on temporary layoff or furlough are permanently laid off by their employers, millions of Americans face the prospect of falling into long-term unemployment.

Admitad Launches the Marketplace
When developing the platform, the Admitad team drew on the experience of the AdGoal company acquired in 2019, or rather its subnetwork business model. More than 35,000 advertisers are currently connected to the Marketplace through 60 partner networks. Their total turnover through the marketplace amounted to €1.3 bn in just under three quarters of 2020.
There used to be three main problems in subnetworks: advertisers could not see exact traffic sources, could not choose publishers and types of advertising, and sometimes shut down the whole affiliate program due to violations of just one publisher. You had to contact subnetworks personally to deal with such issues, which increased the amount of administrative work. For advertisers, it was difficult to work with subnetworks.
