Although the economy is showing signs of recovery, there are still millions of people looking for work. Although full-time employment may be hard to come by, job seekers can look for a short-term reprieve during the last few months of the year.

Many companies, typically retailers, hire an abundance of seasonal workers to prepare for the boost in activity during the holiday season. Toys"R"Us, for example, announced that they are hiring approximately 35,000 seasonal employees in its stores nationwide. This number is equal to the total work force hired during each of the previous two holiday seasons. Dan Caspersen, executive vice president of human resources at Toys"R"Us, says that the company looks to its employees to provide expert assistance for those looking for the perfect gift. "We're looking for hard-working, reliable individuals who enjoy working as part of a team and want to provide customers with memorable store experiences."
