Macy's Hiring Fewer Holiday Season Workers

Macy’s plans to hire slightly fewer temporary workers for the 2015 holiday season, news that comes a few weeks after the retailer lowered its full year sales forecast because of a poor start to the year. The department store chain said on Monday it would hire for about 85,000 positions at its namesake Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s stores, call centers, distribution centers and online fulfillment centers for the 2015 Christmas and holiday season, compared to 86,000 last year.
