BNN BLOOMBERG POLL: Are you looking for seasonal work this year?
Employers may have a tougher time hiring temporary workers this upcoming holiday season as the growth in job postings compared to pre-pandemic outweighs those looking, a new report has found.
Meanwhile, the proportion of job seekers searching for seasonal work is up 25 per cent compared with last year, but hovering just below pre-pandemic levels. Holiday recruitment normally starts in September, Indeed said, but this year, holiday job postings ramped up early.“This year, we're seeing a bit more of a return to normal,” said Bernard.The share of holiday jobs in the overall market is 1.3 per cent, not quite at pre-pandemic levels but better than 2021, Indeed said.
Seasonal jobs are concentrated in the retail industry, according to Indeed, such as sales associates and customer service representatives. Around half of this year's seasonal postings are customer-facing retail positions, the report said.
