Sesongarbeid

“Sesongarbeid” is a Norwegian term that translates to “seasonal work” in English. It refers to employment that is available only during certain times of the year, often aligned with specific seasons or peak periods in industries such as agriculture, tourism, or retail. Seasonal work typically arises in scenarios where there is a cyclical demand for labor, which is affected by factors such as weather, holidays, or harvest periods. Workers engaged in seasonal jobs may experience fluctuations in employment based on the time of year, as these positions are not permanent and may last for varying durations, depending on the needs of the employer and the nature of the work. Seasonal work is common in areas with distinct climatic conditions that influence economic activities and is crucial for many businesses that rely on temporary labor to meet increased demand during peak seasons.
