- Salesperson
- Driver
- Cashier
- Retail salesperson
- Receiving associate
- Sales specialist
- Retail sales specialist
- Stock associate

Unsurprisingly, the majority of in-demand jobs during the holiday season involve the retail industry as consumer demand hits annual highs. ย ย
Among the largest retailers hiring salespeople are Target, JCPenneyโs, Macyโs, Nordstrom and Michaels.ย
Pay ranges depended on geography, with a Target seasonal salesperson in Iowa earning $15 an hour and $19 an hour in Mountain View, California.ย ย
In order to land one of these jobs, the study says that the top three skills needed are sales, communication and time management.ย
