Would you like some extra cash for the holidays but can’t find a job?
Even though most financial experts say that the recession is ending, the country has a long way before it can recover from the economic crisis.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the national unemployment rate is at 9.6 percent. In California, it is at 12.4 percent. The Inland Empire’s unemployment rate is even higher at 15 percent, according to http://www.abclocal.go.com.
Instead of singing “all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth” this year, people will be singing “all I want for Christmas is a job.” Perhaps this year, they might just get their Christmas wish.
To help boost the economy and decrease the unemployment rates, major retail stores are hiring people for temporary jobs during the holidays.
Searching for seasonal jobs can be time consuming, because you never know who is hiring.
So, in order to save some of your time, here are a few company’s that are for sure hiring this Christmas season:
