U.S. companies from Target and Macy’s to package delivery firm UPS plan to hire thousands of seasonal workers ahead of the all-important holiday season.
Retailers are expected to add fewer seasonal jobs this holiday season than last year due to a softer labor market and tighter consumer spending heading into the shopping period, according to a forecast from Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

Company | Hiring plans – 2024 | Hiring plans – 2023 |
