Description

Holiday Hiring: A Grim Outlook for Seasonal Workers - Despite high consumer spending expectations, holiday hiring plans are at a decade low, with retailers planning to hire the fewest seasonal workers in 15 years.

This muted hiring reflects broader uncertainty among employers due to tariffs and spending uncertainty.
