I hope that everyone had a very happy Thanksgiving with family and friends!
I know that this year, there are many who have had their hours cut back at work,or are out of work and are now searching for a new position. The official unemployment rate is 10.5% whereas the "hidden" rate is 17.5%. The "hidden rate" includes those whose unemployment benefits have run out and those who are no longer searching for employment.
With the holidays fast approaching, you may want to consider looking for temporary employment with one of the larger department stores, grocery stores,fast food restaurants,or toy stores. These types of establishments will hire extra help for the holidays and if you are a good employee you may be asked to stay on after the holidays.
Also put your applications in at one of the temporary services where they supply additional clerical, construction help and warehouse help to businesses. During the holidays many companies will hire support staff on a weekly or monthly basis. Often a company will make a permanent hiring decision from using someone temporary through an agency.
