10 Companies Hiring for the Holidays
Yesterday, Kate gave you the latest outlook out seasonal hiring this coming holiday season. She gave you some great tips and important stats, so I thought I would follow up with some companies where you can actually find a seasonal position.
Many companies, typically retailers, hire an abundance of seasonal workers to prepare for the boost in activity during the holiday season. The National Retail Federation reports that in 2008, the average monthly employment during the holiday season was 15.5 million workers. Retailers hired an additional 231,000 workers for the holiday season last year. Although these numbers are lower than in previous years, companies know that they still will experience increased traffic in the coming months and plan to staff accordingly.
Every year, we publish a list of employers that know they are looking for a few extra hands during the holidays. If you’re looking to bring in a few extra bucks this season, here are 10 companies hiring seasonal workers now:
