Pandemic reinvents holiday hiring for retailers The push to hire temporary workers has begun in earnest this holiday season, in some cases weeks earlier than last yearNEW YORK -- Wanted this holiday shopping season: Cart sanitizers, curbside delivery workers and mask enforcers. The push to hire temporary workers has begun in earnest this holiday season — in some cases, weeks earlier than last year. But the pandemic has reshaped the kinds of jobs retailers are recruiting for. As more shoppers shy away from stores and shift their purchases online during the pandemic, retailers have stepped up the pace of hiring at warehouses. Target said it expects to hire more than 100,000 people for the holiday season, about the same as last year.
