Kohl’s has already announced that they are hiring for Christmas and the Holiday Season. Yes, I just checked too and it is still June.
The application process has begun at 300 of the 1,100 US stores. So why so early, well, according to Fox Business, Kohl’s is hoping to get the best workers this year.
The early push to grab talent comes as multiple retailers such as Walmart, Target and Macy’s struggle to find good and qualified workers in the current labor market. The Labor Department reported the number of unemployed workers was less than the number of job openings in April — the first time that has happened since the department started collecting data in 2000.
“We are hiring seasonal associates earlier than ever to ensure our teams are fully staffed, trained and ready to support peak shopping seasons,” Ryan Festerling, executive vice president of human resources at Kohl’s, said in a statement.
Kohl’s claims they will be paying competitive wages and offer seasonal workers 15% off of their purchases in the store.
