The Summer Job Market Is Heating Up. Here's How to Get a Piece of It

Whether you're looking for a way to supplement your current income or snag a paying gig in between college semesters, there's positive news on the summer job front: A good 95% of employers are adding more shifts this summer than last year, and 58% plan to hire more seasonal workers to boot. That's the latest from job site Snag, which also found that employers are looking to pay a more competitive hourly rate this coming summer.

An estimated 46% will go beyond minimum wage, which means that seasonal workers can expect to pocket even more cash for their efforts.
