US employers are set to hire 659,850 seasonal workers this year, the highest number since 2021, showing optimism for a strong holiday season despite a weak job report in October. Seasonal jobs provide valuable opportunities for job seekers, particularly older workers and students, to gain experience and potentially secure permanent positions. Retailers like Target and Amazon are leading the hiring surge, highlighting the benefits of temporary work as a way to explore new fields, build skills, and keep resumes active.
