If you need a job and are good with people and numbers, the government might have work for you. The U.S. Census Bureau is in the process of hiring hundreds of thousands of temporary workers for its 2010 population count. If hired, you'll get good pay, flexible hours, paid training, mileage reimbursement and the sense of doing something to help out your country. Best of all, you don't have to go very far - the jobs are right where you live.

Unemployment in the U.S. took a turn for the worse in October, jumping above the 10% mark for the first time since 1983. While that is sure to send shivers down your job-searching spine, there is a bright side - employers hired 34,000 temporary workers in October and manufacturing overtime was up. Some sectors are even hiring!

All this is according to IHS Global Insight, which analyzes the government's monthly employment report. First, the bad part - people are still losing their jobs - 190,000 of them in October, but that's nearly 100,000 less than analysts were predicting. The biggest losses were in manufacturing, construction, retail trade and leisure/hospitality.

Santa Claus may have enough elves helping him make toys, but with an entire globe to deliver to, he's getting some help from UPS.

UPS is looking for seasonal workers for the holidays and often beyond, according to its Web site.

It's hiring 50,000 seasonal package handlers and drivers' helpers, down from 60,000 two years ago, according to an ABC News story.

The part-time jobs are typically for package handlers, so the sexy jobs of driving UPS trucks must be popular enough to be filled without part-time workers.

In case you hadn't heard, there's a debate about health care going on in this country right now. I don't imagine any of you are unaware because you can't read or watch anything without hearing about the debate. Regardless of where you stand on the issue, we're all going to face a predicament: People are living longer than they did generations ago, the amount of baby boomers who will need medical care is huge, and the amount of nurses is inadequate. And if the show Scrubs is to be believed, there will be even less time for zany antics during this shortage!

PBS reran the episode "Nurses Needed" of its documentary program Now. Although it originally aired last fall, the facts remain the same. (At the end of the segment, producers do catch up with a featured patient to see how she's doing one year later.) By 2020, the country could have a shortage of nurses nearing 500,000 or even 1 million.
