U.S. employers added 390,000 jobs in May as the labor market stays hot. The unemployment rate held steady at 3.6%.

A 'now hiring' sign is displayed outside of a Burlington Coat Factory retail store in downtown Los Angeles on March 11.

The Holiday World & Splashin' Safari theme parks in Santa Claus, Ind., typically hire about 2,200 seasonal workers for the summer, but so far this year the parks are about 30% short of that total. With the school year ending, Eckert hopes to see more students and teachers applying for summer positions. For teenagers, this could be the best job market in over a decade.
