I wrote a blog post last year in June regarding livelihood of the Virtual Assistance industry. It was then we mentioned that business owners were doing all of the work themselves and lowering opportunities for virtual secretaries. Since then, we’ve seen changes. For starters, the huge dip in our economy – layoffs and foreclosures. It looks like America’s unfortunate circumstances actually resuscitated the industry.
Layoffs are at a high, with hardly anyone working. The show must go on and these big companies realize this. Our in-house statistics show that 40% more companies are in fact outsourcing their work.
This is great news for Virtual Assistants. We were worried the industry was on the helm of non existence.
