TACOMA, Wash.—Jan. 12, 2021—As job gains slow and the number of people filing for unemployment continues to rise, job seekers may find their next opportunity in temporary work. Staffing leader PeopleReady says that temporary jobs are in high demand right now—and to help connect people to the jobs, the company is releasing a list of the top temporary jobs hiring over the next 30 days.
“The reality is that the full-time jobs many people have lost are the slowest to recover. Whereas, following an economic downturn, temporary jobs are added at a faster rate—meaning there are temporary jobs available right now to help job seekers start the new year off right,” said Taryn Owen, president of PeopleReady. “Temporary jobs can provide reliable and necessary income for job seekers while also offering them greater flexibility and freedom.”
PeopleReady compiled its list of the top temporary job opportunities for the next 30 days based on an analysis of thousands of job postings on its JobStack app, which enables companies to request help for their on-demand staffing needs 24/7 and allows workers to view and accept assignments in real time. Each of the following position types has thousands of available jobs posted in the next 30 days:
- Construction and general workers (ex: foremen, helpers, flaggers, general workers)
- Food processing and preparation workers (ex: cooks, food preparers, food assembly workers)
- Manufacturing/production workers (ex: packagers, assemblers and fabricators, material handlers)
- Sanitation workers (ex: janitorial workers, housekeeping, industrial cleaners)
- Warehouse workers (ex: forklift operators, shipping/receiving workers, freight handlers)
- Skilled trades workers (ex: carpenters, electricians, HVAC technicians, solar installers, welders)
To make it easier for job seekers to connect with thousands of available jobs, PeopleReady is holding a nationwide hiring event this week. PeopleReady has a variety of ways for job seekers to access potential job opportunities: via app (JobStack), online (www.jobs.peopleready.com) and in person (at all PeopleReady branches across the nation).
