What kind of winter work is available in the southwest?

I'm thinking of going to the southwest US for the winter. What kind of seasonal/temporary jobs might I find there to do for a few months? I'm NOT interested in volunteer-camp-host type jobs, I want an actual paying job. I don't really care what it is--driving trucks or tractors, mechanical work, farm work, whatever--just so it's not sales.

    Propane pumper, security jobs, Laundromat attendant, hardware store help, RV parts store clerk, dog washing and sitting to name a few.

    Check with Walmart. They are usually needing help. They have different shifts. They pay OK. You can work for the season then transfer, sometimes. Or come back next year. I have worked for them several times and it has worked out well for me. After last summer in SD they want me to come back next summer.

    Amazon only has 4 sites where they hire rv'rs under the Camperforce program. If you were to be hired elsewhere you would be responsible for your own lodging, as is all their other employees.
