(Reuters) – Macy’s Inc said on Monday it plans to hire more than 41,000 full- and part-time workers ahead of the upcoming shopping season.
The supermarket chain said recruitment for seasonal positions will be at Macy’s (NYSE: NYSE), Bloomingdale and Bluemercury stores, supply chain locations and call centers.
Last year, Macy’s planned to hire 76,000 full- and part-time workers for the holiday season, with about 48,000 of the roles earmarked for the holiday season and the rest permanent jobs.
Separately, Dick’s Sporting Goods (NYSE:) said Monday it will hire up to 9,000 seasonal teammates this holiday season, about 1,000 fewer than last year, but in line with its 2020 hiring plans.
last week, targeting (NYSE: NYSE) said it plans to hire up to 100,000 seasonal workers for the holiday season, while rival Walmart (NYSE: Inc) has announced plans to add 40,000 workers in seasonal and full-time roles.
Earlier this month, Macy’s Chief Financial Officer Adrian Mitchell said the company expects holiday shopping to begin early this year.
