‘Tis the Season for Hiring
Retailers betting on a prosperous Christmas sales season are bulking up their holiday hiring both nationally and in northeastern Louisiana.
National retailer Kohl’s, which has a store in Monroe, said it will hire more than 52,000 holiday workers this fall, a 10 percent increase over 2011, while other big box players like Toys R Us and Macy’s have also announced holiday hiring spikes.
“We’re definitely looking forward to a successful holiday season,” said Kohl’s Monroe store manager Duriell “Duke” Quinn. “We’re hiring an additional 15 people. You can’t make it through the holiday season without hiring extra help.”
But smaller, independent retailers like Legacy Silver and Gifts owner Lori Martin Bernard also are adding employees.
