The number of job seekers searching for seasonal work has more than doubled from two years ago, but hopeful holiday workers may have trouble finding jobs this year.

Searches for holiday jobs had jumped 27 percent through the end of September compared with the same period last year, and were up 50 percent from 2023, the job posting site Indeed said on Oct. 16. Despite the surge in searches for holiday work, seasonal job postings were up by only 2.7 percent from last year.
