Sept 20 (Reuters) - U.S. companies from Target TGT.N
and Macy's M.N to package delivery firm UPS UPS.N plan to
hire thousands of seasonal workers ahead of the all-important
holiday season.
Retailers are expected to add fewer seasonal jobs this
holiday season than last year due to a softer labor market and
tighter consumer spending heading into the shopping period,
according to a forecast from Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
Here is a list of companies that have announced hiring plans
for this holiday season:
