Early seasonal job posting trends point to a decent availability of Christmas roles, with businesses seemingly expecting to be busy during what\u2019s typically a key trading period.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Methodology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We define seasonal job postings as those with one or more holiday-related terms in the job title, including, but not limited to, \u201choliday,\u201d \u201cseasonal,\u201d and \u201cChristmas.\u201d Seasonal job searches are defined as those containing one or more of the same list of holiday-related terms.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jobseeker interest in seasonal jobs is elevated, meaning employers may find it easier to fill roles than in previous
