Macy’s Inc. plans to hire seasonal workers this holiday season

Macy’s Inc. plans to hire about 80,000 seasonal workers this holiday season, a 2.5 percent increase from last year when the Cincinnati-based operator of Macy’s and upscale Bloomingdale’s hired 78,000 workers.

Macy’s said Monday that the seasonal workers will be used to staff up not only its Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s stores, but also its call centers, distribution centers and online fulfillment centers. Many of the positions will be part-time. Source: AP
