The number of part-time jobs with flexible hours in the US is up 60% this year compared to last year with nearly 2 million such jobs available, according to an analysis by PeopleReady, a division of TrueBlue Inc. (NYSE: TBI).
Parents are set to benefit from the increase, the company said.
“For many parents, income from part-time jobs during their children’s school year is vital to household budgets,” said Taryn Owen, president of PeopleReady. “Temporary jobs are critical to helping parents maintain the flexibility to balance the need for income with being able to care for their children after school hours or when childcare may not be available.”
Some of the most in-demand part-time jobs with flexible hours include:
- Retail associates
- Warehouse team members
- Personal shoppers
- Inventory associates
- Servers
- Hosts/hostesses
