The holiday shopping season has retailers busy hiring on employees, with Target planning to hire 100,000 and Macy's onboarding 38,000 workers — the latter a dip from 41,000 hired in 2022.

The jobs range from store locations to warehouse and distribution centers, according to a Reuters report.

Yet the hiring figures are expected to dip to levels seen five years ago, reported Reuters, citing a Challenger, Gray & Christmas report.

Kroger hasn't specified a set hiring target except for "thousands," and Bath and Body Works will be hiring 32,500 workers. Gift and flower retailer 1-800-Flowers expects to hire on 8,000, the same as in 2022.
