Macy’s and UPS expected to hire tens of thousands of seasonal employees for the holidays

Companies hiring thousands of seasonal workers for the holidays

Macy’s plans to hire more than 31,000 full and part-time employees for the holidays.

Retailers are expected to hire fewer people this year.

This is due to a softer labor market and with consumers tightening their belts heading into the shopping period.

Meanwhile, UPS says it will hire 125,000 seasonal workers for the holidays.
