Layoffs across my industry, where did you pivot? after 18 years as a payroll clerk

Many of the people I know in my field were laid off this year, including me as a payroll clerk. There are 18 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. The postings I see are fewer and ask for more. Who has switched fields?

I moved into operations work. The skills carried over and there were more openings than in my old field.
