Best and Worst Holiday Jobs Revealed | Reduction

Posted by

Best and Worst Holiday Jobs Revealed

Excerpt:

The outlook for holiday employment, says job search portal CareerCast. com, is bright. In fact, says the site's publisher Tony Lee not only are employers offering more temporary jobs this year than last, the odds that a temporary gig will turn permanent are better than at any time in the past five years. Why? "We're just one more year further down the road, in terms of economic recovery," he explains. The Department of Labor predicts hiring will be up 3 percent this season. Being Santa tops the "best" side of CareerCast's list of "Best And Worst Holiday Jobs of 2012," since St. Nick's pay, according to Lee, can top $100 an hour, provided the employer is jolly enough. Being an elf, however, tops the "worst" list, since elves typically make minimum wage.

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
