Finding seasonal jobs: Companies hiring to fill 20,000+ positions include Macy's, Walmart, Amazon

NEW YORK -- Although the COVID-19 pandemic has forced millions of Americans out of work, several companies are preparing to bulk up their workforce ahead of the busy holiday season.

Many large corporations are hiring now for roles that last approximately three to four months. In an unconventional year for seasonal jobs, many employers are seeking remote workers, mostly for customer service positions.

Here are a few major companies looking to hire seasonal workers nationwide:

Macy's

The retailer will host a national holiday hiring event on Sept. 29 to fill more than 25,000 full- and part-time jobs at fulfillment centers across the country, a Macy's representative told "Good Morning America."

Walmart

The corporation is hiring 20,000 employees at fulfillment centers as it preps for an increase in online shopping this holiday season. Job seekers can apply for a range of roles that pay up to $23.75 per hour.

Amazon

Amazon said Wednesday that it is seeking to hire 33,000 people for corporate and tech roles in the next few months.

FedEx

The delivery company said it will add more than 70,000 seasonal jobs to keep up with increased demand over the holiday shipping season. The part-time jobs include package handling and driving, but FedEx said they can turn into full-time positions.

UPS

About 100,000 temporary job openings are available through UPS nationwide. In previous years, the company gave full-time offers to one-third of its seasonal workforce.
