Macy's is planning on hiring 80,000 temporary workers for the holiday seasons, with 23,500 working solely in fulfillment centers.
Reuters reports that sales expectations for the holiday season usually account for nearly a third of their annual sales.
Macy's has been vamping its online presence lately to attract more customers. In the second quarter, the company's online business reached double-digit growth, more than 50 percent in the first half of its fiscal year from a year earlier.
