Kohl's to Hire 69,000 Seasonal Workers for 2016 Holiday Season

WISCONSIN -- It might be too soon for most of us to start thinking of the holiday season, but Kohl's Corp. is making plans to hire more than 69,000 seasonal workers for the holiday rush.

According to a report published by the Milwaukee Business Journal on Monday, the influx of 69,000 seasonal workers will be spread out over the company's 1,100 stores in 49 states - the same number as last year, even though they've closed 18 stores in the past year.

Hirings began in August and will continue through mid-November. To search for openings, go here.

“The holidays are an exciting time to join the Kohl’s team. Whether you’re looking to start a career in retail or make extra money for the holidays, Kohl’s is a great place to work with a culture of appreciation and opportunity,” said Ryan Festerling, Kohl’s executive vice president of human resources, in a written statement as reported by the business journal.
