Staffing leader says pandemic has changed the
types of jobs available; job seekers need to know where to look for
work
Holiday jobs will play an even more critical role this season as
near-record-high unemployment rates and an unpredictable economy
continue to impact household budgets across the nation. Staffing
leader PeopleReady says that with a full 60% of shoppers planning
to shop less in-store1 this holiday season due to the pandemic, the
types of holiday jobs available will be affected. To help people
find those jobs, PeopleReady analyzed thousands of job postings
from across the nation—and today is releasing a list of the most
in-demand holiday jobs this season.
“We anticipate seeing businesses ramping up with a higher demand
for e-commerce-related temporary positions, especially those in
packing, shipping and production,” said Taryn Owen, President of
PeopleReady. “For people who are looking for work, there are jobs
available. Job seekers just need to know what types of jobs are in
demand, and should consider tapping into digital platforms to
connect with those jobs more efficiently.”
Based on PeopleReady’s analysis2, the most in-demand jobs this
holiday season include:
- Warehouse associates (ex: forklift operators, shipping and
receiving)
- Customer service representatives
- Production workers (packaging, material handlers)
- Stockers and order fillers
- Retail workers (ex: truck loaders and unloaders)
To make it easy for job seekers to connect with thousands of
available jobs, PeopleReady is holding a nationwide holiday hiring
rush event this week. PeopleReady has a variety of ways for job
seekers to access potential job opportunities: via app (JobStack),
online (www.jobs.peopleready.com) and in person (at all PeopleReady
branches across the nation).
