500 part-time jobs draw 7,000 applicants at Dodger Stadium

As baseball season is approaching, the Los Angeles Dodgers needed to fill 500 part-time positions.

The long lines of parked cars outside Dodger Stadium was a sure sign of the times as nearly 7,000 applicants showed up at the two-day job fair.

While many are no doubt fans of the Dodgers and would enjoy spending summer evenings at the ballpark, all were eager to convert their summer time into cash.

By many assessments, anyone looking for summer work will have a tough time this year. In January, the unemployment rate in California rose to 10.1 percent.
