Retailers are gearing up for a shopping surge, but not necessarily a hiring boom. Experts say retailer hiring will drop to its lowest point since 2009.
"A lot of consumers are feeling pressured by high costs, food, housing, electricity, so retailers are taking a cautious approach," said Nancy Vanden Houten, a lead economist at Oxford Economics.
What jobs are employers looking to fill?
Delivery drivers and food service workers are in demand, and there are a lot of openings for truck drivers.
"We see some leisure and hospitality, but we also started seeing some interesting cases where accounting jobs start to pick up this time of year," said Cory Stahle, an economist at the Indeed Hiring Lab.
There's less demand for jobs in retail, but there are jobs out there if you can be flexible.
Of course, seasonal jobs are a great way to get your foot in the door for something that could turn into a full-time role down the road.
