Thanksgiving Sides | New Dispenser Landing Page | Pandemic Proof IT Careers | News to Start Your Day


Happy Thursday!

(Here’s a fun one for you…November 19th is World Toilet Day! I will speak for all of us when I say that we are all thankful for this invention!)


Just one week until Turkey Day! Someone on our team showed us this map today: Most Popular Thanksgiving Sides by State. I am loving how my favorite dishes are represented. We certainly love our mac and cheese in the south, don’t we? I have to say, I am a little worried about the people in Maine. Favorite dish: side salad. Apparently there is no mac and cheese (or stuffing like so many of the neighboring states enjoy) in Maine? Ha! 

What is your favorite Thanksgiving food? 

We’ve been working to collect some of our favorite recipes with you. Today I’m sharing this one, which came in from a customer. Thanks so much for sharing with us, Eva!

Grandma Loper’s Buttermilk Coconut Cream Pie (Eva Arnold – Jacksonville, FL) 

Ingredients 

  • 1 9″ refrigerated unbaked pie crust  
  • ½ cup butter 
  • 1 1/ cup sugar 
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour 
  • 3 eggs 
  • ¾ cup buttermilk 
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla 
  • 1 cup flaked coconut 

Directions 

  • 9” pie crust (Do not prick pie crust – Bake in a 450 degrees F oven for 8 minutes, then reduce oven heat to 350 degrees and back for an additional 4 minutes or until crust is light brown – Remove pie crust from oven and set aside. Next in a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium low heat, stir in sugar and flour, remove from heat and set aside.  
  • In a medium bowl, beat eggs lightly with a whisk until combined. Add buttermilk and vanilla; whisk until just combined. Gradually whisk buttermilk mixture into butter mixture until smooth. Stir in coconut. Place partially baked pastry shell on the oven rack. Carefully pour filling into shell. Cover edge of pie with foil to prevent overbrowning. Bake in the 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil; bake pie about 10 minutes more or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm. Cover and store any remaining pie in the refrigerator within 2 hours. Let chilled pie stand at room temperature for 1 hour before serving. Makes 8 servings.

Pandemic Proof IT Careers – Jason, Ecommerce Manager

No one can really predict to what extent the coronavirus pandemic will affect our nation’s economy. With the virus a constant threat and no sign of it disappearing any time soon, it may be time to turn towards a “pandemic proof” career. Statistics show that some jobs are more recession-proof than others and that we might be saying goodbye to some on the cusp of extinction. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 29% of jobs would be suitable for work from home scenarios. Other research and surveys say this number could be closer to 40%. Using ONET and OES data, the BLS estimates that 63% of U.S. jobs require significant onsite presence and that the remaining 37% can be performed entirely at home or remotely.

The 63% of jobs that have been most affected by the pandemic are primarily in the hospitality, arts, recreation, and entertainment sectors. A lot of these occupations are unlikely to make a rapid return as COVID-19 lingers and even re-surfaces in some areas for a second wave. E-commerce, tech, medicine, manufacturing, delivery drivers, and trade jobs have, for the most part, seen growth since the beginning of the pandemic.

Job Sectors that Survived (or Thrived) During the Pandemic

  • Software development and technology
  • Logistics and manufacturing
  • Informational technology
  • Engineering
  • Teaching
  • Healthcare positions
  • Lawyers
  • E-commerce marketing

Some technology careers, including computer occupations, are expected to grow 12% from 2018 to 2028, while specific tech jobs could see growth as high as 32%. People working in tech jobs are among those most likely to be allowed to work from home, offering a significant advantage of stability during recessions, pandemics, or other catastrophes. A joint CNBC and Change Research survey found that 42% of respondents said they were now working from home, a huge increase from the 9% of respondents who worked from home before the pandemic.

With big shifts towards remote work, a future-proof career will most likely include positions that have flexibility within stable industries. Technology careers encompass a wide range of fields and are even integrated into most niche industries. These jobs aren’t limited to endless hours of mind-numbing screen time; there are technology jobs that include research, development, and creativity across industries as far apart as entertainment and agriculture. The BLS predicts that IT positions will continue to grow due to the emphasis on cloud computing, information security, and the collection and storage of big data.
