(Radio Iowa) – Iowans who are considering picking up some seasonal work during the final few months of the year should apply now, according to a University of Iowa business professor.
Peggy Stover, who directs the U-I’s Marketing Institute, says many retailers are looking to make immediate hires as we’re less than a month from Thanksgiving. Stover says retailers are scrambling for consumers and additional staff.
With Thanksgiving falling on November 28th, it will be a shorter holiday shopping season, which she predicts will translate to better deals for consumers as retails strive to move inventory. Stover predicts a robust holiday shopping season, with Black Friday just a month away.
