With Halloween just around the corner, it’s hard not to remember that Christmas is right behind it.
While you might not want to think about all the gifts you have to buy now, the reality is that many savvy shoppers already have half—if not all—of their Christmas shopping done.
Over the next couple of months, shoppers all over the world will be flocking to the stores to buy the rest of their holiday decorations and gifts.
And that means many stores are going to need a few extra sets of hands to get through the upcoming holiday season.
Target is hiring even more seasonal workers than ever before, predicting that this year is going to be a big one for the store.
As USA Today reports, Target is expected to hire about 100,000 seasonal workers this year—roughly 55 more at each of the store’s 1,816 locations around the country.
According to reports, the chain hired about 70,000 seasonal workers last year, so there will be a pretty big increase for the 2017 holiday season.
