United Parcel Service announced on the 7th that it will hire 100,000 seasonal employees across the United States, preparing for a surge in volume during the fast-approaching holiday shopping season. The holiday period is the busiest time of year for parcel delivery companies, with daily volumes tending to double during this stretch. The seasonal workers will help sort, move, and deliver packages. The company hired 125,000 people for the holiday season in 2024, but has not disclosed a comparable hiring figure for 2025. In January, the company announced plans to cut up to 30,000 jobs and close 24 facilities during 2026, as it reduces delivery volume for its largest customer, Amazon.com, and shifts toward more profitable delivery operations.
