Macy’s to hire 3,000 seasonal holiday workers in Texas

Macy's plans to hire 80,000 seasonal workers during the holidays, including 3,000 in Texas.

Headquartered in Cincinnati, the retailer has hired about 80,000 seasonal workers over the past two years to operate department stores, call centers and distribution centers during the busy holiday shopping season. However, the company plans to transfer more seasonal employment to service centers, including a factory in Houston. Approximately 30,000 seasonal workers, an increase of 6,500, should fulfill their online orders in this warehouse.

"During the holiday season, we rely on our seasonal colleagues to provide a great shopping experience for our customers in stores, online or on the phone," said John Harper, Macy's Chief Store Manager, in a statement.

Retailers looking to hire thousands of seasonal employees during their vacations are reinitiating job fairs and offering incentives to incentivize applicants in tight labor markets. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the US unemployment rate is 3.7{7be40b84a6a43fc4fae13304fce9a2695859798abfc41afd127b9f8b21c5f9c5}.
