From substitute teachers to prison guards, staffing agencies and employers are reporting a pickup in applicants for roles often shunned for their low pay, inconsistent hours or unpleasant conditions. Even the messy work at materials recovery facilities, where people still sort recyclables partly by hand, is fetching more takers.
