Seasonal Jobs Hiring Now
Holiday hiring is in full swing.
These companies are hiring for the holidays now.
If you've been googling "seasonal jobs near me" lately, you're not alone. Despite the great resignation and the so-called labor shortage, there is a big interest in seasonal jobs hiring this holiday season—and seekers like you are eager to take advantage.
A recent Monster poll found that an overwhelming majority (78%) of respondents plans to look for a seasonal job this year. However, a slight majority (55%) is expecting some type of perk to work during the Delta variant (i.e., increased wages, sign-on bonus, employee discounts). Employers are ready to respond with some great benefits ranging from increased wages to store discounts to signing bonuses.
Why all the attractive extras? Consulting firm KPMG surveyed 114 U.S. retail executives from companies the earn more than $500 in annual revenue and found that holiday sales are expected to be 7 percent higher this season compared to last year—and nearly double the retail industry’s historical annual growth rate. A big driver of that? An estimated 35 percent growth in holiday e-commerce sales compared to last year. A survey by Radial shows that 65 percent of consumers plan to spend the same amount or more online compared to 2020.
But online isn’t where all the action is. A Mastercard survey reports that in-store sales are expected to see a 6.6 percent growth rate compared to 2020, while a Consumer & Retail survey by Escalent says consumers plan to do an average of 48 percent of their holiday shopping in brick-and-mortar stores. This is, of course, helped by the many retailers that are expanding contactless buying options to try to get consumers to open their wallets.
That means warehouses are going to be very busy this season. Monster reflects the good news with a massive number of warehouse roles available across the country, including El Paso, TX; Syracuse, NY; Detroit; and many, many more areas.
