Kohl's will add about 53,000 seasonal workers to handle the holidays this year, an average of 40 workers per store, plus 6,400 distribution center workers and 350 credit operations temps, according to a company announcement Thursday (Sept. 19).
Target recently said it will add about 70,000 seasonal positions, about 20% fewer than last year. The move to hire 18,000 fewer temporary holiday workers versus last year's 88,000 comes as the Minneapolis-based chain saw that its own permanent employees wanted to get first dibs on working extra hours for the holiday season.
