It’s true; they’re hiring
Yes, joblessness is still going up. A total of eight states now have double-digit unemployment rates. However, there are still jobs out there. Earlier, I covered the cities in the U.S. that have the lowest unemployment rates. But there are some companies that operate nationwide and have openings, so these will be good options if you want to stay put. These seven Fortune 100 companies have at least 150 job openings.
1. Wal-Mart
The recession hasn’t had any negative effects on retail giant Wal-Mart. In fact, this company has only brought in more profits since consumers started aggressively seeking the bargains. Wal-Mart is has thousands of job openings across the country. The company is hiring store managers, human resource managers, pharmacists, customer service associates, cashiers and others. So, if you need some extra cash to pay off installment loans, check out the nearest store.
2. UPS
According to Fortune, UPS has 3,070 openings in the U.S. UPS is seeking part-time package handlers, mechanics, warehouse personnel, sales representatives and information technology professionals. UPS offers a huge variety of shifts, so people can work at night or other odd hours. A lot of the openings are probably graveyard or swing shifts, so if you’re willing to work a nontraditional schedule, or better yet if you are a night owl, check it out.
3. Lowe’s
Lowe’s hardware store is hiring for pretty much every position. The retail chain has 7,900 openings nationwide, and is looking for everything from part-time seasonal employees to executives to work in the corporate office.
