1. Oh, those seasonal temporary retail sales jobs

where you work your ass off for practically nothing in pay.

"Employment in November may have gotten a lift as businesses stepped up hiring for the holidays. Macy’s Inc. (M), the second-biggest U.S. department-store chain, said it would add about 2,000 more seasonal workers than the 78,000 it hired last year. Toys ‘R’ Us Inc., the world’s largest toy retailer, reported plans to employ 45,000 temporary staff, up 5,000 from the 2011 season."

Just the ticket to another low paying, crap job.
