Full-time hiring in the fourth quarter is expected to be the most robust since 2006. CareerBuilder’s recent research also revealed that seasonal hiring is also slated to outpace last year’s projection.

Data has historically outlined that there are a substantial number of working employees who say they are actively looking to change jobs. This remained true despite reporting to be happy and content with their current workplace and position.
In Q4, 34% of United State’s employers plan to hire full-time, permanent staff, and almost the same amount of seasonal staff. Luckily, seasonal workers will most likely be able to reap the benefits of the recent minimum wage increase. Many companies claimed they were prepared to increase pay for seasonal staff.
It’s not just retail companies that are looking to hire for these positions either. This wave of employment stretches across multiple industries like customer service, technology, marketing and inventory management.
