Macy's announced that it plans to hire 78,000 temporary workers for the holiday season, an increase of 4% over last year. http://money.cnn.com/2011/09/2.....acys_jobs/

The company said it needs to staff Macy's and Bloomingdale's stores, call centers, distribution centers and warehouses that store products for online shipping.

Most of the seasonal positions are part-time, with evening, weekend and overnight shifts required. The company said these temporary positions can lead to year-round jobs "in some cases."

Perhaps the toilet the economy is in is not that deep if B&M retailers are expecting a huge christmas season.

They are always optimistic before the Christmas season. For many businesses, it is the only chance they have for a profitable year. Let's just hope they are right. My guess is that they will start their promotions early to try to ensure a good season. For many people, the economy is not better yet. Reports were that no new jobs were created in August.

Best Buy will add 15,000 seasonal "associates" ahead of the holidays, nearly half of the 29,000 they hired last year.

The company also said its phone support and distribution centers will hire more than 3,000 employees "to provide customer support and manage inventory for our stores and .com channel."

Kohl's http://www.kohlscareers.com/ and JCPenney http://www.jcpenney.net/Careers.aspx plan to hire the same number of seasonal workers as last year.

A great hidden benefit is the associates' discount on merchandise!
