Good luck to all of those places. Where I live, there are help wanted signs everywhere for regular jobs. Places have reduced hours for lack of employees. It is sad.
The pandemic has taken many people in working ages (18-65).

This has not been talked about much.
Many blessings on everyone’s job search. Just read an article saying, although seasonal hiring will take place, companies are hiring less workers than last year. It’s always good to take advantage of an opportunity when available. https://money.com/walmart-macys-hiring-holiday-workers/
These wages are far above numerous positions in our local school district. It’s kind of sad that you need tons of training modules, minimum associates degree, cpr/first aid and allergy+epilepsy training to earn less than $15 an hour 😭 Some bachelor’s positions our hiring at $18 an hour and yet walk-in seasonal positions are paying up to $24. Just want to say thank goodness for Hip2Save bc it helps the working mommas and daddies just trying to live our best lives. 😘
Aww, Thanks for the super sweet comment. Glad to help you grab the savings your family needs most! 🥰
