Macy’s To Hire More Than 41,000 Workers For Holiday Season

America-based department store chain, Macy’s said on Monday that they will hire more than 41,000 employees for the upcoming holiday season. They also added that hiring for the seasonal positions will be at its Macy's, Bloomingdale's and Bluemercury stores, supply chain locations and call centres.

Last year, the firm had planned to hire 76,000 full- and part-time workers for the holiday season, with about 48,000 of the roles specifically for the holiday season and the rest were permanent positions.

Earlier this month, Macy's Chief Financial Officer Adrian Mitchell said the company expects holiday shopping to start early this year in Bengaluru. While Dick’s Sporting Goals said that they will hire up to 9,000 seasonal workers for the coming holidays, about 1,000 fewer than last year, but in line with 2020 hiring plans. Walmart Inc also announced its plan to assemble 40,000 workers in a seasonal and full-time role.
