The coronavirus pandemic has turned the American economy upside down. Restaurants have closed their dining rooms, offering take-out meals and/or delivered food. Many businesses, such as theaters and hair salons, are shut down indefinitely.

Some businesses are still chugging along, though -- with more than a few advertising that they're hiring more workers, and many even raising the wages they offer. Here are a bunch of companies rewarding their workforce with more pay.
