Are holiday jobs hard to find this year in Atlanta?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
This year’s hunt for holiday jobs is supposed to be more intense than usual. Because more people are unemployed going into the holiday season, there’s a lot more people out there trying to apply for seasonal and other part-time jobs. Instead of teenagers and housewives, which make up the typical seasonal job applicant pool, the recently laid-off from a wide cross-section of industries are scrambling for these jobs.
Of course, retailers, who tend to hire the most amount of seasonal workers, have low expectations for spending this holiday season, considering the state of the economy, which means they will need to hire less people.
Are you looking for seasonal work in Atlanta? How has your part-time job search been? Do you think it’s harder to find seasonal jobs this year in Atlanta?

I desperately need a job regardless of what the status is seasonal, part time, or whatever.

Yes I think it is so hard to find a season job or any job out there.
