US companies from Target and Macy's to package delivery firm UPS plan to hire thousands of seasonal workers ahead of the crucial holiday season.
Retailers are expected to add fewer seasonal jobs this shopping period than last year due to a softer labour market and tighter consumer spending, according to a forecast from Challenger, Gray & Christmas in September.
The companies include:
- Target
- Macy's
- Bath & Body Works
- United Parcel Services
- 1-800-Flowers.com
- Amazon.com
