Companies Offering Benefits to Part Time Employees

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, part-time employment means qualifying to work 1-34 hours per week. Many of our unemployed are turning to part time work for several reasons including hopes for full time employment, a steady salary and benefits. Since the holidays are approaching, some of these companies may be hiring.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of involuntary part-time workers, or those who are working part time for economic reasons rose to 9.3 million in September 2011, up from 8.8 million in August.*

The following companies may offer benefits to part time staff. I say "may" because a few of the articles I reviewed are dated 2010. If you are interested in learning more, please visit their websites and double check.

Barnes & Noble, Cost Plus World Market, FedEx Office, Lands' End, JP Morgan Chase & Co., Lowe's, Nike, JCPenney, Nordstrom, REI, Starbucks, Target, Trader Joe's, UPS, Walgreens, Wegmans, Whole Foods, IKEA, Home Depot, Marriot, U-Haul, McDonalds, Lands End, Capital One Finance, Best Buy, Boscov’s, Macy's, AAA, The Container Store, Staples, Aeroteck.
