Layoffs across my industry, where did you pivot? - 2 months and counting

Many of the people I know in my field were laid off this year, including me as a retail manager. There are 7 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. The postings I see are fewer and ask for more. How did you choose?

Look at job postings to see which skills repeat, then fill the gap. That gave me a direction.
