Retailers will Offer Higher Pay and More Benefits to Holiday Workers
This is good news for people who enjoy working during the holiday season or who want to take on a part-time job for extra money. As retailers are finding a tighter labor market, they are offering a variety of perks like higher pay, extra discounts and more flexible schedules to the temporary workers. Two large retailers, Macy’s and Target, are holding their first nationwide recruitment fairs and others are offering easier ways to apply for temporary work like through their mobile devices. The larger retailers want to have their hiring done by the end of October. Reported by AP’s reporter, A. Dinnocenzio.
