Target To Hire 130,000 Seasonal Workers For Holiday Season

MINNEAPOLIS — Target announced Tuesday plans to add more than 130,000 seasonal team members across the country for the upcoming holiday season, including a two-fold increase in the number of roles focused on fulfilling digital orders from its stores.

“It’s critical we build the right team across our stores and supply chain to deliver an exceptional holiday experience for our guests during the busiest time of the year,” said Melissa Kremer, chief human resources officer at Target, said in a statement.

“From engaging our current team members who are interested in extra hours, to adding more than 130,000 seasonal hires, we continue to invest in our team because they make it easier and more joyful to shop at Target, especially during the holidays.”

Approximately 125,000 team members will fill a variety of roles at Target’s more than 1,800 stores. From stocking shelves with the hottest toys, decorations and holiday meal essentials, to helping guests pick out the perfect gift, to fulfilling orders placed online, store team members will help guests prepare for every event, party and festivity throughout the holiday season.

Approximately 8,000 opportunities are located within distribution and fulfillment centers. These team members focus on processing freight to stores and fulfilling orders placed on Target.com and Target’s app, according to a news release.

All seasonal hires will receive a minimum starting wage of $13 an hour, which is almost double the federal mandate.

Target raised its minimum starting hourly wage to $13 in June 2019 as part of the company’s plan to reach a $15 minimum hourly wage by the end of 2020.

In addition, all hourly team members, including seasonal hires, benefit from:

Last year, Target hired 120,000 seasonal team members at its stores and 7,500 team members at its distribution and fulfillment centers. In total, more than 40 percent of those seasonal hires remained with Target following the holiday season.

“Every team member at Target is given opportunities to grow, take care of themselves and their families, and make an impact on guests and their communities,” Kremer said.
