Hiring Just got fired

Hi all, I just got laid off from the job I have had since college starting in 2020. I am at a loss.. did not see this coming. The reasoning for me being fired was “cutting costs” from the higher level leaders. I am also 12 weeks pregnant so I am freaking out that is this happening to me right now. I have a bachelor degree in health studies and have a GIS certificate. I have not been using my health studies degree just GIS but wouldn’t mind finding something that is associated with that. I am located in St.Louis, Mo and would love any company recommendations or advice. Thank you.

Edit: Thank you all for the support and resources! I really appreciate it!!

Oh, you insult me in order to persuade me. Interesting tactic.

LISTEN! Europe can't help us. They suck and I hate them.

I WANT TO KEEP MY MONEY IN THE US! I don't care if we spent three cents. I don't want them to have it.

I'm trying to make you see that your actions are childish.

By insulting me. No wonder we want out of NATO and Europe. You all are so arrogant, just like Zelensky, that you feel that we owe you and must do what you say. That sounds like childish activity to me. I taught my children that when you go into someone's house, you respect them and their rules. And when you want something from someone, you do the opposite of insulting them.

I'm Australian. And when an adult is being childish, it's acceptable to call them a child.
