Tis the season for, well, seasonal employment.

Need a job? There’s good news. Target has announced it plans to hire about 100,000 seasonal workers ahead of the holiday season to supplement its existing team of workers.

Jobs will be available across Target retail stores and supply chain facilities.

“Seasonal team members help Target deliver a joyful and easy holiday shopping experience by supporting Order Pickup and Drive Up, stocking products, and helping get holiday purchases to Target guests and stores as quickly as possible,” according to the press release.

Seasonal team members will have access to a market-leading starting wage range, as well as health and well-being benefits, and opportunities for growth and development.
More than half of last year’s seasonal team members were offered a position to stay with Target, the company said.
