Retail chains are hiring now for the holidays

Major retailers in Utah are gearing up for the holidays, which means they’re hiring.

Several businesses in the state have announced plans to add seasonal workers for the holiday season, when an estimated 20 percent of the year’s retail sales are made, according to the National Retail Federation.

Macy’s is planning a “hiring event” on Thursday, Oct. 24, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at locations nationwide. Three of those are in Utah: City Creek Center in downtown Salt Lake City; Fashion Place in Murray; and The Shops at South Town in Sandy.
