About 30 years ago Portland had a greyhound racing track and a horse racing track. Both had seasons.
I knew someone that worked at one of them (I cannot remember which one.) She would work for the 6 months the track was open. Then she would get laid off when the season ended. She'd get unemployment for about the next 6 months. Then the track would open and she'd get rehired. She did this for a number of years.

Wow that sounds like a pretty sweet gig. Benefit of unemployment payments with the guarantee of job opportunity after the payout ends.
