Labor demand prompts UPS to up pay for some seasonal jobs (Bloomberg)

September 14, 2016

United Parcel Service Inc. is offering bonuses and higher wages for holiday help in some parts of the US, as the package-delivery company plans to hire about 95,000 seasonal workers amid tighter labor markets, Bloomberg reported. The sweetened compensation by one of the largest users of temporary Christmas-time employees reflects increased competition throughout the economy for a dwindling pool of available workers. In addition to offering more pay in some markets, Atlanta-based UPS is recruiting retired company employees to return for the season.
