CARLSBAD, Calif., March 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Accountant,

designer are among the best part-time jobs in the post-recession
economy, according to a new report by CareerCast.com
(http://tempjobs.careercast.com/article/best-part-time-and-temporary-jobs).

workers, which they define as anyone working less than 35 hours per
week.

"While most people would rather have a full-time job with salary and
benefits, steady part-time work and temporary assignments are good
ways to generate income during slow hiring periods," says Tony Lee,
publisher, CareerCast.
Employers have sought more part-time and contractual help to keep
costs down, but also to work around hiring freezes. Hiring on anything
less than a full-time basis has improved markedly, says CareerCast.
Part-time opportunities are especially abundant in the retail and food
service industries. Construction is also an industry rife with
temporary project opportunities, employing everyone from laborers to
engineers. Other part-time jobs are best suited to those already
working who are looking to supplement their incomes. Bartending, for
example, offers flexible hours and payment through gratuities.
Many accountants also find temporary work, typically every spring, as
firms hire staff to meet the rush for tax filing. And in the summer,
many hotels, national parks, cruise lines and other hospitality firms
supplement their full-time staff with temporary hires. During the
holiday season in the late fall and early winter, the shipping and
packaging industries are booming with temporary positions, from
delivery drivers to material moving machine operators in warehouses.
For professionals with expertise in a specialized field who want to
work full-time but for a limited period, temporary employment is an
opportunity to stay active.
