With retailers announcing their holiday hiring schemes left and right, and holiday hiring expected to increase this year, J.C. Penney falls somewhere in the middle of the moves made by other major retailers. Target, for one, plans to increase seasonal hiring by 40% and Toys R Us has plans to hire despite its bankruptcy filing. Meanwhile, Macy’s seasonal hiring will decline 4% and Walmart isn’t planning on hiring at all. But it seems like Walmart has more up its sleeve with the revitalization of JetCash.
