Kohl's Department Stores seems to have high hopes for the upcoming holiday shopping season.
The retail chain unveiled plans on Tuesday to hire 52,700 seasonal workers this year. That's a 10% jump in seasonal hiring compared to last year, according to Kohl's (KSS, Fortune 500).
The department store chain plans to hire, on average, 41 workers per store, an increase of 4% from last year. in In total, Kohl's has 1,146 stores nationwide.
With 2 stores, in Rogers, Fayetteville and Fort Smith, that could add around 120 jobs to our area.
The company, based in Menomonee Falls, Wis., also plans to hire 5,700 seasonal employees at its distribution centers and another 30 seasonal positions in "credit operations."
Kohl's said the jobs are part-time, ranging from "a few hours to more that 20 hours per week." Many of the jobs consist of unloading trucks, stocking and working the cash registers. Hiring has begun, and the company plans to fill all job openings by mid-November.
