Late Season Summer Jobs Plentiful

There is still an acute need for seasonal workers to work a few weeks – or more – in the most popular destinations in the USA this summer.

Two trends have conspired to create staffing problems for summer employers and opportunities for job hunters:

• More colleges have switched from quarters to semesters, pulling students off the job and back to the books well before Labor Day.

• Retiring Baby Boomers and international travelers add to the number of late season vacationers at a time when the employees to serve them are in short supply.

Online job board CoolWorks.com is highlighting late season summer jobs from Maine to Washington State and from Arizona to Alaska for the rest of the summer and into the fall.

Whether you’re in between jobs, tempted to come out of retirement for a few weeks to live somewhere special, or looking to help pay for a vacation by working in a great place, there are plenty of opportunities to stretch your summer. Consider a few weeks at Cape Cod, Minnesota’s Boundary Waters, the San Juan Islands, Grand Teton, Grand Canyon or Yellowstone Parks, or way up north of the Arctic Circle in Alaska. Housing and/or trailer sites and meal plans are typically available for employees.

It’s not too late to take your summer to the next level. See what’s available at www.CoolWorks.com or cruise the websites and newspapers of your favorite destinations to see what’s out there.
