These are the most in-demand American jobs in the time of the coronavirus pandemic

Glassdoor noted that not only is there a need for people to help patients diagnosed with coronavirus, there's also a need for people to look at data related to the disease.

Data is playing an important role during the outbreak, as it helps understand the severity level of the outbreak by examining the estimated number of cases in reported countries — although the exact number of cases is difficult to collect, according to The Atlantic. It's also helpful for investors to examine economic activity, according to Marketwatch.

One of the companies looking to fulfill an immediate contract data specialist is Translators Without Borders. They are seeking a person who can work remotely to analyze and make sense of data related to the coronavirus outbreak.

According to O*NET's information on computer systems analysts, the job requires people who are analytical thinkers, pay attention to details, and are adaptable to changes. The profession doesn't necessarily require a bachelor's degree.

A typical median annual salary is over $87,000, according to 2018 BLS data.

The report noted scientists are needed for testing and reviewing lab data related to the coronavirus. Researchers are playing a vital role in discovering information about the outbreak.

Interestingly, the way scientists are communicating is changing as a response to the outbreak. According to Science Magazine, many scientists are using Slack to help communicate their findings to scientists in different locations.

The magazine wrote "the intense communication has catalyzed an unusual level of collaboration among scientists that, combined with scientific advances, has enabled research to move faster than during any previous outbreak."

One of the job postings for "scientist" on Glassdoor is from staffing agency Kelly Services. The company is looking for a microbiologist to immediately fill a contract position at one of their healthcare client organizations.

According to O*NET, a microbiologist's top required skills include analytical know-how and inductive reasoning to draw conclusions. Attention to detail, integrity, and analytical thinking were the top three work styles that employees of this occupation find the most important to have.

A microbiologist's typical salary in 2018 was $71,650.

In addition to conducting medical research and assisting patients with coronavirus, Glassdoor also saw companies seeking professionals who can share news and inform readers all about the outbreak. One of the staffing agencies listed in the report hopes to find a communications consultant who can write advice regarding the outbreak in various languages.

According to O*NET, communication specialists typically need a bachelor's degree and work experience related to communications or public relations. They typically earn around $60,000 a year, according to 2018 BLS data.
