Ron Bielanski is passionate about working with his hands. But COVID-19 threw a wrench at how he made his living as a construction worker.
âMy boss, at the time I just got hired, told me I canât make you come here,â Ron Bielanski recalled. âItâs voluntary at this point.â
After leaving his job in construction, Bielanski worked as a handyman. But soon, the opportunities dwindled. Prior to the pandemic, he received three to four job offers a week. Now, maybe four calls a month.
