A Spirit store advertises for employees in Hayward, Calif., on Wednesday, Sept. 29, 2010. Retailers including Toys "R" Us, Pier 1 and Borders plan to hire more temporary holiday workers this season than last year, emboldened by several months of sales gains and a slowly improving economy. While such jobs will be an early Christmas present for some of America's unemployed, they're unlikely to make a dent in the stubbornly high unemployment rate. (AP Photo/Ben Margot)
