Kohl’s expects to hire more than 69,000 workers for this year’s holiday shopping season.

Employees are needed for:

“The holidays are an exciting time to join the Kohl’s team. Whether you’re looking to start a career in retail or make extra money for the holidays, Kohl’s is a great place to work with a culture of appreciation and opportunity.”

Kohl’s announcement does not specify whether the holiday positions are full-time or part-time.
