Looking for Part-Time or Seasonal Work? Consider Joining Jackson Hewitt as a Tax Pro!

While many people may think of retail or delivery jobs as the most common or most prevalent seasonal positions, a recent survey² conducted on behalf of Jackson Hewitt found that 44% of the people surveyed prefer an office job for seasonal work.

Jackson Hewitt and its independently owned and operated franchisees have over 5,200 locations across the United States and they are seeking to hire a total of 22,000 seasonal employees¹ for the 2020-2021 tax season. Jackson Hewitt Tax Pros are valued at the highest level and help taxpayers complete their taxes with ease, year after year.

If you are like the 51% of people surveyed looking for a seasonal job this year or the 33% of people surveyed looking for a seasonal job ahead of the holidays due to employment changes relating to COVID-19, consider working at a Jackson Hewitt location this tax season!

Franchisees are the exclusive employer of their employees and as such are solely responsible for all employment related matters and decisions in their locations. Jackson Hewitt does not control the independent franchisees’ employment policies and practices and does not employ those working at franchised locations. Jackson Hewitt and its franchisees are equal opportunity employers committed to maintaining a diverse and inclusive workforce.

2. Survey methodology: The Jackson Hewitt survey was conducted online by Dynata between September 30 and October 1, 2020 among 1,000 American adults aged 18 and older. Respondents to the survey were selected from those who volunteered to participate in online surveys. One thousand complete surveys were collected using the sample framework based on U.S. Census data for age, ethnicity, gender, region, and income.
