While the Corona virus pandemic is causing economic pain for so many American businesses, some companies are booming and hiring.

So let's take a look by the numbers As Americans stock up on household basics.

Dollar General announced today they'll higher up to 50,000 additional workers by the end of April for their 16,000 stores nationwide.

CBS Help, the nation's largest pharmacy chain, will also add 50,000 full and part time workers and will give cash bonuses up to $500 to existing in store employees.

Online grocery delivery company Insta Card announced plans today to add 300,000 full service shoppers over the next three months for grocery delivery and pick up online.

Retail giant Amazon announced plans last week to add 100,000 warehouse and delivery workers.

It is boosting minimum pay by $2 an hour through April.

WalMart is also adding 150,000 temporary hourly workers and finally, with so many Americans now working remotely from home, video conferencing company Zoom is taking off.

And while the stock market has dropped 10,000 points since February, Zoom has seen its stock rise from $70 a share in late January up to $160 a share today.
