Unemployment rates have skyrocketed in the past few months, but as the economy reopens and the additional $600 FPUC from unemployment payments expire, some individuals are still left unemployed without the option or the possibility of returning to work. It is very hard to find places hiring, but after calling many places, we gathered 17 to make your lives easier. Aside from these places, Uber, Lyft, UberEats, DoorDash, Instacart, and other apps are available for you to sign up and begin to work immediately. The name, number, location, and how to apply are listed below if applicable.
Disclaimer: This list was compiled after making 100+ calls over the past week. We are not responsible if there are no longer any open positions in any given location.
