Crackdown on illegals increases holiday job prospects for seniors and teens
Huntington Beach, Calif. — The government crackdown on illegal immigration has created more job opportunities this holiday season for senior and teen U.S. citizens, says Renee Ward, founder of career sites http://www.Seniors4Hire.org and http://www.Teens4Hire.org.
Laws that allow high profile raids, deportation and punish employers of illegal immigrants and a recent program that lets employers check if a person can work legally in the U.S., have brought seniors and teens back in favor with many employers that need to hire seasonal, temporary, and or part time workers, Ward says.
“U.S. born seniors and teens are perfect candidates for holiday jobs that need to be filled. Many seniors are just looking for something to do and teens need experience and a little extra money for their necessities,” says Ward.
The retail industry adds thousands of seasonal jobs between now and the end of the year. This includes mall stores, grocery stores, fast food and casual dining restaurants, photo studios, and specialty stores like pumpkin and tree lots. Stores need more people to stock and sell their products.Other places to consider include packing and shipping companies, event planners, caterers, flower shops, cleaning services, amusement/theme parks, and charitable organizations like the Salvation Army.
“Businesses of this nature can find a wealth of eager talent on our sites to fill their needs. We have over 2 million registered members looking for work,” says Ward. HERE [1]
