The workforce has taken a hard hit in the last year, with more than 38 million Americans filing for unemployment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this isn’t the first time hardworking people have been hit hard by an unforgiving economy. 8.8 million jobs were lost during The Great Recession of 2008, and millions of workers lost a combined trillions of dollars less than a decade earlier in the dotcom crash.
These numbers look bleak, but the good news is there’s a way to take your professional and financial career into your own hands by becoming your own boss in a business that is known to withstand trying times. Franchising added 787.5 billion dollars to the U.S. economy in 2019 alone, and is expected to continue growing throughout 2021. And despite the pandemic that impacted so many throughout 2020, many franchise brands still saw growth in their companies and their ROIs.
Making the jump to self-employment can seem scary, but those numbers talk — as does the fact that 97% of self-sufficient professionals said they would never go back to traditional employment. Franchising offers the opportunity to put you back in control of your own Income, Lifestyle, Wealth and Equity™ goals while still receiving support and guidance that non-franchising business owners simply don’t have.
