Clark Howard's Tips
More holiday jobs and shop time this seasonNovember 3, 2005
Clark predicted that it was going to be a bleak hiring season in the retail industry this year. Well, he was wrong.

So if you want to pick up a seasonal job, you can make some good money to pay off debts. Or you can use the money to buy gifts for people.
As a shopper, the shopping season will be longer this year because retailers are "front loading" sales. They realize energy and heating costs are going to be higher this year, so they're trying to get you to buy earlier before you get hit.
