Holiday Jobs Available In Norristown, Surrounding Area

Hundreds of new local jobs have been posted, including many seasonal and part-time positions for the holiday season.

As Christmas and the holiday season slowly creep over the horizon (no, we can't believe it either), many major companies are ramping up their hiring for the busiest shopping time of the year.

Businesses load up on temporary employees for the end of the year to meet increased demand, especially retailers who will see their sales spike at the end of the year and need the extra muscle to keep up.

And that demand is only growing. In 2015, despite a spate of bad weather, holiday sales increased 3 percent to $626.1 billion, according to the National Retail Foundation, the seventh straight year of growth.
